Metal cover

My metal magazine has a black background as this is stereotypical colour linked to heavy rock music. This colour also served as a good back drop to the bright yellow and red. The bright colours are meant to appeal to both males and females and draw attention to features and bands included in the issue. The bands advertised on the front are all well renowned in their genre and have a very large fan base, therefore appealing to a wide audience.  I tried to keep the stories very music based as this is what appeals to the reader, also incorporating that idea into my photo choice of always keeping the music involved throughout. I chose the font because I believed it looked quite Gothic, yet still remaining easy enough to read and met the theme of the cover.The title 'metal head' is a slight play on words of the iconic heavy rock/metal band 'motorhead', this meant that fans of the gene could relate to the name of the magazine and understand the magazines message.  If I could do anything differently I would have worked more on making the overall magazine look more professional, filling in empty spaces with advertisements and more stories featured inside. I also believe if I had used a different software I could have achieved a more professional looking magazine cover by having the opportunity to use more effects and have a wider range of fonts and colours. Overall I believe my metal magazine 'metal head' appeals to the selected audience however could have looked very different had a better software been available.
