Basment Beats - Final Draft

Basment Beats Front Cover - Draft 4



This fourth draft was designed so that the image was still clearly visible but so that several lines of text were centred and easy to read at the bottom of the page. I did not want to over-complicate the page and confuse the readers with an array of themes colours and texts so have decided to keep the colour scheme the same but vary the style of the font on each line.

Basement Beat Cover Page - Draft 3



On my third draft I focused upon getting the right feature artist to grace the cover. I wanted to take a photo of someone who was very current on the R'n'B scene; so decided to do by attending a concert where I could get close to the artist. This shot is full length and on stage, so different lighting effecrs created a great atmosphere in which the photo was taken. I decided to keep it to an absolute minimum as far as details were concerned which was influenced by the covers og "Q" magazine.
