Mock up - Front Cover

This was my initial idea for the front cover of my magazine. I wanted and extreme close up of the face of my artist, however also with the view of the guitar to establish the genre of the magazine which is a range of folk/country/pop. I didn’t want there to be an overcrowding of text around the page because I didn’t want to overwhelm my audience, however I believe there is enough to entice the audience to read the rest of the magazine. The colour scheme would be pinks/purples and whites to establish the female audience gender.
