Here is another up to date version of my front cover for my Indie music magazine; clash. Since the last time I updated, I have made many changes in the process of making my final outcome.
I have altered the positioning of my model, so she is now on the right hand side of the page and a bit bigger. This helps the page fill out more and over all look much better. I also placed the model above the name of the magazine, which is a common appearance in most magazines. Because of this, I had to move the barcode and pricing into the space above the H rather than below. Furthermore, I brightened the photograph of the model, making the magazine itself look more colourful and appealing to my target audience.
Deleting the tag lines that were once on either side of my models head, I created another banner on the bottom of the page which includes two features of the magazine. This is much more effective than my previous tag lines, as it looks much more intact with the rest of the magazine and continues to demonstrate the three colour rule of pink, black and white.
I have added the drop shadow effect to the text "LAUREN ENTWISTLE" and "THIS IS JUST MADNESS" to create a more realistic effect that an everyday music magazine would have. This also helps the story stand out, intriguing the reader further.
On of the final things I have done in the process of finishing my music magazine is add a sticker on the left hand side/ centre of the page. Without it the cover still felt quite bare, and didn't have enough stories either. Once again, this continued the three colour rule using white for the text and pink for the sticker, as well as adding a drop shadow effect to give the sticker a more 3D effect, lifting it off the page to catch the readers attention. This is exactly what I wanted, as this text is about a competition, which might influence the reader massively to buy the magazine so they can win the chance to win the 'exclusive' prize being offered.
