After uploading my photo edit into InDesign, I then proceeded to plan out box shapes and positioning. This gave me a basic idea of how large my text would need to be, and the scale of other cover elements, such as barcodes and adverts.
I started to add text and photos to the cover of my magazine, but I reached a problem when it came to the titles of both the leading band and the magazine cover.
I had noticed that the type they had used was decayed. I couldn't find an identical typeface, so instead I used the closest I could find and decided to weather it in Photoshop, creating a grunge alteration.
These were the stages of text alteration. I did the same process for the band title.
I used a similar technique when it came to other elements of the cover, so that I could get an accurate theme throughout my copy.
To create all of the extra images I used various techniques on Photoshop CS4.
This is my final copy of the magazine cover.
I am very happy with the turn out of the magazine, as I think that editing the title text really makes it look more high end and accurate.
I definitely think it could be improved however by using a better quality photograph. Next time I do a cover for a magazine which includes photo, I will make use of natural lighting and will use a camera capable of taking high quality photos.
