The first thing I did to my front cover was cut out the main image from the bad background I had before. I did this using paint.NET and saving it as a PNG file. I then inserted it into my publisher file and decided the white background was boring, so I changed it to a really dark grey because black was too dense. I also re-did my masthead because it was slightly wonky, so I straightened it out and made a red one for my front cover. I gave it a white border too, and made it smaller than my draft, because I felt it was too big. I also made Jake and Adam cover the masthead, which follows the conventions of a Rock magazine like K! or Rock Sound. I also edited the 'posters' and cut out the backgrounds on 'Travey' and 'Catch Fire'. I think it looks much better now. I completely scrapped the puff because it looked un-realistic and too overcrowded with one.
