Background (snow)

My magazine is a Christmas edition due to the fact that it is being released in December, therefore I was going to add snow to the background. So here I was trying out different snow effects however due to my in depth research I found pop music magazines usually have white backgrounds which meant if my magazine was going to be conventional and attract my target audience then I would have to have a white background too. Meaning that I could no longer use the snow effect on the background of my front cover, however by adding a snowflake on both my front cover and my contents page I kept the Christmas theme I wished for my magazine to have.
