Magazine Template Ideas

For my magazines cover and use of pictures, i gope to use just a single action-shot photo for my front cover, maybe with only one person on the front either playin the guitar, posing in an action shot maybe from a concert setting or a shot of them singing. I got this idea of a single person picture playing the guitar from the magazine shown below.


I Think this magazine cover is very good in that it is spaced out, easy to read and the picture tells the whole magazine before you have read any captions. I hope to take this idea into my Hip-Hop based magazine by changin fonts, colour schemes, cover charecter and maybe add slightly more captions on the cover to draw people in to show it has alot to offer.

In the charecter change i was hoping to make my own photo of a person of my choice posing in a way similar to the photo below of Lil Wayne in a action shot playing the guitar.

    That lil Wayne photo would be a good one to try and emulate as it is simple but effective. What you will have to be conscious of is that we will need to see some evidence of photo manipulation.

    This could be as basic as adding tatoos to an image like they did for tha Carter III

    Be careful with including acoustic musical instruments as this is not something typically associated with hip hop.

    This image is also worth considering
