Google Mock Up

I decided to use the band 'The Lumineers' for my google mock up front cover. This was because my market research showed that people preferred bands to solo artists. 

I decided to use this shot of the band because it showed all of them clearly and with their full bodies. I think that this picture sums up the genre well with the use of clothing and props. I decided to do a black and white version and a colour version to signify the difference a subtle change can make.

This is the process of making my google mock up:

I stared my putting my chosen image into a photoshop document. I then added my masthead which I put together in a power point, using texts from dafonts.com. The slanted main feature story was also put together on a power point document, using the writing from dafonts.com. I used the same fonts throughout the front cover top ensure continuity. Adding the other feature stories to the side of the cover was also using the two fonts used throughout.
I added the red dot and the red band at the top to add some colour to the cover as it was fairly bland as it was and needed to be eye-catching.

My final mock up were the same apart from using a coloured image and a black and white version. I added the coloured posters to make the cover more full and to add more colour. It is also added promotion and therefore will draw in an audience.
