For my magazine I decided to use a girl of the same age as me as I thought this would be a good target audience to use. By using this target audience it ment that I could ask people what kind of music they were into. Some of my friends told me that they enjoyed listening to peacefull music when relaxing and therefore I decided to use my friend as a model and make her a singer and pianist. I decided to call my magazine LMM. This was because I thought it was catch and easy to remember. I used the colour scheme black red and white because I realised that 2 out of the 3 magazines that I researched into had this colour scheme. Going ahead with this idea I found it alot easier that using lots of colours because everything matched and there wasnt any hassle about combining colours together. I used a grey and white background for the front cover so that a reader wouldnt get distracted by a bright coloured background. The main story for my magazine was about a girl called Grace Mills. This tyed in with my front cover photo as it is her that my double page spread is about. The other story that I have done on the front cover is the LMM christmas party. I did this to tye in with the season and month it was sold in. It also ment that I had something else to carry on to the content page with. I used a smaller font for this though so that it doesnt attract the reader away from the main headlines. I used black and red stars on the cover too just to add a bit of fun into it.
Over all I am happy with the front cover I have produced and NME and Q magazine influenced my decisions on this alot.
