I like the way I have kept the consistent colour scheme of burgundy and white, this makes it seem professional. However, to improve on the colour scheme, I will add in another colour.. perhaps blue.
The masthead is good and this is the masthead I have used consistently throughout my drafting and planning of my front page, it has rounded font linking to mixmag and is written in capitals, linking to DJ mag. I have included the URL in the masthead which is something music magazines tend to do, here I am following generic conventions.
My main image is positioned centrally which makes the artist appear as the main focal point of the magazine and it is effective because the artist is making direct mode of address with the reader. The artist's curly hair is also effective because it makes her seem wild, this has a connection with the genre of music she produces. Her plain clothing connects with the plain background but the different colour makes her stand out.
The cover lines on my front page are all about artists that are featured in my contents page: Example, Calvin Harris, Tiga, JE55ICA and Martin Garrix, I've also included a pug with the 'win a £50 itunes voucher' - this will make the reader willing to flick through and find that page.
The anchorage text is big, bold, italic and underlined. I made sure the main part was a different colour to the masthead showing that it has equal dominance. The effect of it being italic and underlined makes the anchorage text seem like a screamer, shouting for the audiences attention. The quote will have a positive impact because it'll make readers think, "what is she talking about?", this will make them buy the magazine.
I included the little touches such as a bar code and a date line which is what all magazines have and this makes my magazine fit in with the rest.
