Real Magazine - Front Cover (work in progress)

This is my front cover so far. it is not complete. i wanted to get feedback from other people that fit the target market because if they were to go to a shop for a music magazine the front cover is the thing that determines if they are interested in buying it or not, since it is the first they see. once i obtain the feedback needed i will take it all on board and adjust this cover until it is perfect.

This is the second version of the double page spread that i made. I chose this image because my cover star is not taking up the whole two pages so this allows me to leave some space for the text to go on. the change i made was to the bars at the top and the bottom. i made them grey instead of white because i think that grey is a more subtle colour and it doesn't really stand out.

This is the first draft I made for the double page spread. in my opinion it didn't turn out as good as i thought it would but the layout of the bars at the top and the bottom, i kept. it makes the double page spread look more professional and i think it works well.

So you have a new album on the way right; “Duration”? Tell me what inspired you to make it.

• It was all the free time I had and the personal experience that I went through that helped me come up with such a great album. Seriously, I can’t believe it is still number 1 on the charts today and I just have to thank the my fans, my family and my boys for helping me achieve this goal.

Life on tour is said to be difficult. How are you finding it?

•      Not gona lie, I’m finding it not only fun but it is also tiring because of all the travelling. There is no time to rest pretty much because when we are on the road all my girls just scream at the TV because they are not as good as I am on Call of Duty (laugh).
•         Oh really, clearly you haven’t played me yet (laugh)
• Hahaha, well see about that. Okay another thing tho, honestly, it’s not as glamorous as the media portray it to be. Imagine finishing a long concert and then immediately being on the road only to head straight to another concert. Don’t get me wrong, I like performing but it is so time consuming but I think the whole overall experience is worth the struggle.
