To create our magazine cover we will be using 'InDesign', a program that allows the user to import pictures and add text to the front cover to make a realistic layout that would be seen on music magazines such as - NME, Q, Kerrang and Mojo. Usually the picture of the band that will be found on the front cover of the mag would not totally show them within the image that the band is aiming to achieve. It is the Album or single cover where the band will use their personal image in order to sell their material, the magazine will only aim to have their name in a big font and usually a close-up of the band stood together. below are some examples to indicate the most common images of bands on the front of music based magazines.
As you can see there is a general consensus for magazine covers as said befroe there is no real band image used but just to rely on the name and the face of the 'front man'.
