My Final Front Cover.

For my final front cover i have changed quite a lot from my first draft. I have added a lot more text to fill the space which was one of my comments from my peer feed back. I have also changed some of the text to make it bigger which creates a more interesting and eye catching cover. I have also added a paper tear away effect text bar across the magazine front cover and placed my headline and catch phrase within this box. I added another tattoo on Kathy using Photoshop. this made her look a lot more music styled and it fits more with my music genre. I added a text bar at the top of the magazine to put some sub headings to also catch the audiences eye and make it look more realistic. Another thing that i did was change the Mast head to a different font style. This helped my magazine suit the purpose and look more like a music magazine than a fashion magazine. 

I really like this front cover as i think the changes i have made have improved it to suit the purpose and make it look more realistic. 

Update about my front cover

For my Music magazine, i have decided to change which front cover draft i am going to use as my final front cover. I have decided to use draft one, this is because the image of Kathy is of her looking to the camera. This is a more personal image for the audience, and also makes the whole appearance of the front cover look better. I have also decided to use this idea as it is a brighter image, and the background is more effective which stands out against all of my other drafts. The conventions within this draft are better than the ones in my other drafts. 
This draft however needs improvements such as; i need to add the tattoo from my draft 2 onto the arm of Kathy in this Draft. I also need to change the font of my Masthead as it is too much like a Fashion magazine and inst following the task in hand. The text on the magazine front cover needs to be bolder and made bigger and on some of the stories the text needs to be re-arranged. for example i need to take the pull quote of Kathy's tattoo and place it under the Heading of Kathy Weaver. I am going to add some other things and make it more to my genre of a music magazine. I will write an updated post and picture when i have made these improvements.

Peer feedback

The feed back from my peers, was mainly to add more text and fill the space in the background. I totally agree with this and i intend to change this by adding more sub titles and quotes, maybe adding some images of sneak peaks inside the magazine and adding music logos. My peers said that my magazine looks sophisticated. They said that they liked the colour scheme and that they liked the image i had taken. I really like this draft and will be making changes to make it better.

Here are two other drafts that i made for my Front cover. I do not like these drafts at all as they look unfinished and um-professional. I feel that i can do alot better than these and i will be choosing on of the other two drafts i made and working from that.

Draft 2

I really like this draft as i feel like it looks like a professional magazine. I am not sure though if it looks too fashion magazine-music magazine. I like the image that i have chosen and i like the tattoo that i placed on Kathy's arm using photoshop.
