Ancillary Tasks: Music Magazine Front Cover

As part of the project is to construct two smaller ancillary tasks, i decided to do some research on music magazine front covers as this is one of the ancillary tasks i decided to do. I mainly looked at pop magazines as this is the main genre the group is focusing around and the main genre of the song itself. i constructed a mood board of this genre of magazines and decided to make a list of the main conventions, as i intend to follow the conventions to create a professional and realistic magazine front cover.

Using this list of conventions i started to design, sketch and annotate a few drafts myself to help provide the group with a range of different layouts. This would help as the group and i can then sit and discuss the features that we liked and did not like and create an effective layout which we all liked and could work with.
