This image shows my final magazine front cover. It uses all the typical conventions of a magazine cover with the magazine title in the top left corner. The main title is written in a font called 'clementine sketch' in a deep red colour. It is almost like a logo which would be widely recognised and be a symbol easily noticed and established when people think of music magazine.
Above the title is a small strip of colour in a pale red with white text showing what the magazine contains, with the word exclusive in a bold font so that it stands out amongst the rest.
The main image is a medium close-up shot of a 'pop-star'. The image has been edited to so that it is brighter with more contrast which makes the image stand out and also appear more professional. The brightening almost acts like an airbrush as it removes any blemishes or imperfections within the photo.
Over the photo is the main article headline. This is written in a font called 'rubberstamp' which is very bold therefore stands out. Different parts of the text are in different colours, on different backgrounds, or in a completely different font. The word exclusive is written in a bold black with a slightly transparent red background which is not straight but slightly 'wonky'. This makes the word exclusive stand out which will make it more appealing as it shows how people should buy this magazine as an alternative to any others as this is the only magazine to have this story. The name of the artist is also written in the rubberstamp font however this has no background and is instead written in a deep red, similer to the magazine title. This shows how it is a name, like the name of the magazine and it also follows the colour scheme of the rest of the magazine. The words 'She's Back' is written in a basic 'calibri' font as it is not the main part of the headline and it slightly overlays the name of the artist which shows how whilst they are in different fonts, the text is still connected. The main part of the headline is also in the 'rubberstamp' font in a bold black but without a background making this text stand out. All of this headline is right side justified with the 'exclusive' beginning almost centre page which is a typical convention. All other article titles and information is left justified, in a smaller basic font and also in a lighter colour. This shows how these articles are not as important as the main article.

Also on the front cover is a barcode which all magazines need as well as a price and issue number. These are placed in the bottom left corner and they are almost the smallest things on the page as they are purely about the selling of the product rather than the appearance or the contents.
