creative NME task

Here is an image of my creative NME task in which we were given the image of Trent Reznor and the masthead to create a magazine front cover. For this task I have added a puff and a main cover line to make the cover more effective and eye catching as well as a bar code, a price and a date for the issue to give the magazine a more professional style. This task has given me the chance to develop my skills within Paint.net which is the programme I used to create this. Having my skills develop within this task is beneficial as it will be easier for me to use this programme for my music magazine and therefore ensuring I have a higher quality style of a magazine. Additionally, Having the image of Trent Reznor cover the masthead creates a symbiotic relationship between the artist and the magazine as the magazine not only features him but he is actually apart of the magazine. Finally, I chose to use a plain background to sustain the focus on the cover star and the article mentioning him.
