Music Magazine Front Cover Progress

Here I began creating the front cover of my magazine using the software Photoshop and InDesign.  I have decided to use this image of Callum because I felt like the background was easy to remove and I feel like the photo has a natural effect.  I also like the shadow around him as it makes the photo more interesting and unique. I feel this picture reflects Callum as an indie/pop artist really well because of his pose. He is also looking directly into the camera so the reader would feel is if he is engaging with them. 
I was also able to create my masthead.  I decided to use the font 'Vivaldi' as I was able to match it to my design and I like how the capital 'S' looks on the page.  I also began to create a splash and a strapline which I was able to add to the front page.  Sell lines were also added and I was able to make them look similar to my plan and design. I used different fonts for each line as I feel that this would make my magazine unique and stand out.  I was also able to add a header and footer bar and was able to add text, this also worked out the way I planned.  I added my slogan to the front cover also.  However, I will need to touch this up a little more as I will have to make the writing bigger and the shape of the box different.
I will continue to work on my front cover to improve the elements and finish off anything I haven't yet added.
