Magazine cover first draft

This is the first draft of my magazine cover. Rather than an attempt to throw myself into creating a magazine cover in one go, i wanted to put the magazine title and a conceptual mast head and puff on there to see what it would look like. I also added a barcode, just for conceptual design at the moment. The use of black as a background is useful for more colourful texts with this magazine (a trance magazine) as the colours used in the text are associated with lights used in dance/trance clubs. the white was used more as just a simple background to the text so i could focus on the design of the boxes behind the text, it is not the colour i intend to keep in my final coursework piece.
