Here is a mock up of what I would like my final front page to be structured like, or to similarly be structured like. I used the photo of Ian Curtis which I have used from my initial ideas. Yet this is in black and white, I believe that a colour shot would look much better on the cover of my magazine as the main image. I have also used my created masthead, with a slight alteration. At first, the mast head was all equally sized, yet in this i separated the 'Side' from the image and stretched it across the full top of the magazine. This gives it more of a masthead approach, dominating the front page.
The graphic which includes the 'Ian Curtis' text was done by selecting one of the brush styles of the brush tool. I replicated the same graphic seen on the 'God Save The Queen' Sex Pistols image, which is also seen on my Initial Ideas. I took the strapline from the Lily Allen cover and used it on my cover. I created a similar 'box' from this cover, which was inspired by The Sex Pistols album, Never Mind That Bollocks...I did this by using the Rectangle Tool in Photoshop, with a text box inside them. For the font, also taken from The Sex Pistols album, I randomly chose fonts from the font drop down and also changed the size and position of each letter individually. In my final front cover, rather than having different fonts for each letter, I can just change the positioning and size of each letter. The style shown in my mock up does not correspond completely to a similar one taken from The Sex Pistols.
The rest of the front page structure is explained by the mockup picture seen above.
