I like my draft front cover because I think it had the potential to look really authentic, and I think it looks like it's almost there in terms of looking like a true music magazine that could be sold in a newsagents. I think the content is fine, and doesn't need to be improved, because there is the main cover line, bottom line articles and then the pugs and puffs too (the features of a magazine). However, I am aware that there are areas of my front cover that really need to be worked on, particularly the 'look', I need to make sure that it doesn't look amateur. These are the things I aim to change and improve:
- Masthead - for some reason, it looks asif the 'O' has dropped, so a simple edit to bring that back up and import it into my front cover will not take me long.
- The Main Image - I am happy with the image itself, but I would like to cut the models out of the background so that I can have a completely white background, and then have them covering the masthead perhaps, because this will really tie in with the rebelliousness of a rock magazine. I really like that I have already started to show some rebelliousness in the fact that Jake challenges the convention 'look at the camera' pose, with his fingers in his ears. This works particuarly well because Adam is stood next him just looking at the camera, so there is an immediate contrast, which ties in with the bands ethos and the rock magazine rebellious nature.
- The Puff - 'New!! Album Reviews'. This, i feel, doesn't quite match the style that I have gone for, so I think to improve this I will either cut it out or use an effect to make it look more like it fits in with the rock ethos of the magazine.
