Mock Up

Google Mock Up 

The purpose of my mock up was to get an overall image of what my magazine would look like once i put my own photos on the front. 

For my Google Mock Up, i decided to choose a well known artist one from which i put on to my survey, and got a popular response from. I decided to choose Avicii, to have as my main image however, i have also put other artists on the front cover as they also got a popular response on my survey, this includes; Calvin Harris, Disclosure, Ellie Goulding and Kiesza.
I decided to choose this image of Avicii because, it shows him clearly. I think the image goes well the genre of my magazine as it fits in with the overall theme and is appropriate.
I have put feature stories on top of black boxes with white and blue writing, so that they stand out against the white background coming from the image. The feature stories that i have included on my mock are potential stories that i am going to use on my final front cover.
The image that i have used of Avicii, has influenced me to get an idea of how to take my photos.
