As for magazine sizes; they normally come in two sizes: 7"10" or 8"11". my magazine inspirations include Rolling Stones, Classic Rock, Alternative Press, Rock Sound etc and they use 8"11" so that is what I am going for as well.
I opened this image with Photoshop and adjusted the brightness, curves, colors of the picture.
The I added the Logo of my magazine and initially I had gone with the Font ELEPHANT for my logo but as it was not very visible I decided to change it.
I decided to use the font Bright Young Things for the magazine Logo.
The Band name ; The Cassettes is in the font Gravity of Love.
This seemed too dull so I decided to change the color scheme to red and yellow.
I changed the font of the Band name to TypoSlab Irregular.
I added the date of the issue under the logo.
The tagline is the same font as the band name but I switched the color to emphasize the
I tried to highlight the genre and so I used the font Broken Stick for Indie pop.
The sell lines for other stories in the magazine vary in color to catch the audience's attention and give the magazine a informal but eye catching look to the target market.
I added a bar code as per codes and conventions of any magazine
I changed the colors and outline of the masthead (using Stroke from the fx option) to whatever looked the most eye catching. I settled for white Text and a red outline along with other minor adjustments such as drop shadow, inner glow and so on.
Finally, I added a skyline to add other features of my magazine to attract my specific target audience to buy the magazine
