This is the first draft of the front cover of my new Music Magazine.

As you saw below, I had conducted a survey of 13 people and the majority said that the idea I had would be an effective one and that the colour scheme of a floral monochrome background with a bright masthead would work well.

I have worked on this front cover for about 2 hours and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Why did you use these colours and images?

I wanted the magazine to have a true 60's vibe, but I also wanted a mod type look to it also. I used http://www.dafont.com/ for the font for the word ''JANIS''. I thought this font would be appropriate as it is very 60's influenced as it's called ''60's POP''. I made the masthead colourful as to make it stand out from the rest of the front cover. I used this picture of Janis Joplin (as it is one of her most famous) because she looks very happy and I could manipulate it easily.

What edits did you make to the image?

I got the image of Janis Joplin from Google Images (https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSMwutGCPXATUUsN-2hx1Kq_ldZfwes20EJdeO2NCKoot-weyz5PRe7xD6Pw1E-qSSzjG_yiqNwB5Ixkmga-ihhKO_I5QEsFKL10r3e_k4qz2UwWxTVz6jkVzY962WhOuHk01EtxLLMDO/s1600/Janis+Joplin.jpg). As you can see, the image is already posterized so I only made minor edits to the picture itself. I edited using Adobe Photoshop Elements. I removed the background of the picture by using the magnetic lasoo tool and tracing around Janis until it was only her remaining. I then removed the background. To give the image the green tint, I used the magic wand tool and selected all of Janis, I then clicked enchance, adjust colour and choosed edit colour. I then used Green Darken.

I chose to price the magazine at 3.99 in order to make it affordable to everyone who might want to buy it. The magazine will include a sample CD (which I will design at a later date) of lost singles from Janis Joplin herself (theoretically, ofcourse.)
