My evaluation of my front cover

This is my final front cover and as you can see I have included a lot of the conventions seen on most real magazines around the world. The masthead is one thing which stands out a lot for me as it's big and bold which will automatically catch the audiences attention, also the fact that it's a striking color such as red, it will grasp the attention of people much easier than if the color were to have been a dull grey or black. Keeping to the red color I have included red text to go with the cover lines. I also chose white the cover lines as my three main colors I chose for my magazine were red, black and white. As the background is black I chose to do my text in white and red which I personally think makes the magazine look effective. Furthermore I wanted to include some text within separate white boxes to add more emphasis to the front cover as it makes the page look a lot more modern, and by also making them slanted it allows the audience to go from one block to another. I've included twitter and facebook logos to inform the audience that they are able to find 'Trash Magazine' on social networking sites, due to them being popular with my target audience. Not only that, I've also included a blackberry bbm scanning code to allow Trash readers to add us on the one of the most popular social chat rooms available all around the world, it will allow more people to get an inside look even quicker than logging onto Facebook and Twitter.
