Front Cover Design Brief

-The masthead (B4ss Lin3) will be situated at the top of the magazine, and stretch all along to the right of the magazine.

- The font will be "Rockwell" on the masthead and all other text on the cover, but it will look different, due to the fact that i will use "blending options," to vary the style of the text.

-The masthead will be red, with black boundaries and a shadow around the edge to give it a 3d effect.

- The puff- "the loudest mag in the business," will be situated directly underneath the mashead, and will be a dark colour in order to stand out.

-There will only be one photo on the front cover.

-This photo will feature a male wearing a hooded jumper and playing DJing instruments underneath a tunnel with graffiti on the walls.

-Many of the plugs will be situated underneath a heading the same size and colour of the puff, reading "also featuring," with a list of Drum & and Bass artists underneath that, and to the left of the feature photo, which will be in the centre of the page.

-The headline will be "DJ Sparky gets serious with the mixes," and will be the same style and colour as that of the masthead, yet slightly smaller.

-Tying in with magazine conventions, the bar code will be situated in the bottom rght of the front cover.

-There will be a star shape with the words "free CD" written inside it, slightly above the masthead, in the top right corner.

-All of the plugs will have an alternating blue and green background behind them, of which will be slightly slanted to the left or right.
