Cover lines.

Here I present several ideas of my cover lines which should be attention-grabbing:


  • Concert schedule 2012: Can you feel it coming? Kasabian in Australia

  • Face of Armani: Sergio Pizzorno

  • Exclusive: frank interview of German Lavrovsky + photoshoot

  • RHCP open air: plans for summer

  • The Kooples: SALE

process of creation my front cover








the front cover;evaluation of the survey

I have asked people which front cover they prefer and most of them voted for the first one. However, I believe the second one looks better because of the white background and it would be easier to work with.
For now, I'm going to continue to work with both photos and then I'm going to make my final decision.

Making the front cover

Which front cover do you prefer?

Choosing the design of the title

After looking at several designs which I've presented earlier I chose 2 that I liked the most.


Which one do you think is better and more suitable?


The Title.

Even though the title l'esprit didn't get the most votes, I still decided to choose this title for my magazine, because it is very symbolic and I believe reflects what my readers think the music really is.
L'esprit means mind in french, and i believe it suits perfectly for the title of the music magazine. Music often becomes something much more than just a sound for many people, it could reflect their lifestyle, their fashion style or even state of mind! Its easy to explain by giving few examples from my own experience - music reflects the mood and thoughts very often. For example, the band Radiohead usually drives me to a very depressing, however calm mood and some electro music like Skrillex is suitable for some action - when you do work or when you simply walk.
Therefore I used the website http://www.dafont.com/ to look for designs for the title. Here I present some of them, they are the one I liked the most.

Drafts and Sketches

I've drown drafts for my front cover, contents page and a double spread page.
I believe more details will be added on during the actual creation of those three elements, however these sketches give me a rough idea of how I should place all the details on the page.
