Front Cover Progress 2
- 1. I had by now started to add in additional information on the cover to make it more inviting and magazine-like. I had to think about where to place each piece of text so that it was readable and appropriate yet make sure that it wasn’t being cluttered or over-done. I added in an album cover image of a real-life musician to make my front page look more appealing but I later found out that because it wasn’t an image of my own, I couldn’t use it. I am carrying on adding information to my front page and have managed to fit in a bit of text that looks and fits perfectly at the top of my magazine front cover.
- 2. Unfortunately, the font I have been using for my artist’s name is too pixelated when it’s made bigger so I have had to change the larger font to a different one but in a similar style. This is essentially my first point at which my magazine is really coming together through how everything fits in. I still have aspects of it to do like having the barcode and potentially more information. I am now trying to make my artist’s name stand out more on the magazine but by using this shade of pink, it doesn’t stand out very much. I have also put in some additional information just below the artist’s name on what the audience will be expecting inside the magazine.
- 3. I have changed the colour of the artist’s name to make it stand out more and it luckily still complies with the colour scheme. Also, it stands out more and my magazine front cover is looking like it will almost be completed. I have made the ‘free’ at the top of the page look bigger and more stand-out as it is something that would interest the reader greatly. Also, I have moved the barcode to a place that isn’t drawing attention away from texts. Moreover, the artist’s name is in its final destination and through the choice of colour and positioning I think that as the final front cover, it looks good and overall appeals to my target audience well and successfully.
