I have now mocked up my Front Cover, with the picture and the fonts in colour. This is just a rough mockup, not the final piece as i'm considering different font colours and font types and I need to blank out the white background in the masthead or change it completely.

I have created an Album cover to include in my magazine to promote my artist. I did some research into Artist/band album covers and used the conventions of them to help me create mine. I went onto PicMonkey.com to edit my image with colour tints and contrast, brightness and highlight tools and then added my text using paint.

Ellie Gouldings album cover, is the one I used as my inspiration. I like the simplicity of it, but yet it still looks professional.  I took the photo of my artist as a close-up shot of her head and shoulders, she also changed clothes to what she was wearing in the previous photo-shoot as I wanted the Album cover to look professional.
