Initial cover idea 3

This idea was inspired by Hip hop magazine, this is because the cover star although important, to me it seems like it is a cluttered cover and doesn't seem to have much structure, i decided to do a cover like this just to see if it was a good way to go. I incorporated another 'win' situation on this magazine to help the readers have another incentive to buy the magazine, however i also included the 'free downloads' again inspired by my second design to give the readers more value for money. The idea for the image came from Q magazine with Madonna as the cover star, this is because it is quite a intense picture with the eye contact of the cover star, however still is feminine and sexy. The colour scheme i used for this cover was inspired by XXL magazine, this is because from earlier research i discovered that a lot of music magazines incorporate the colour red in the covers, this helps the cover be instantly recognised as a music magazine, and also keeps the magazine multi-sexual.
