Final Front Cover of my music magazine

This is my final front cover of my music magazine. On this, I decided to make a few changes so the presentation of the page would look better and more eye-capturing.

Firstly, I decided to make adaptations to the title. I thought it looked too dull so I decided to make it look more prominent and bold. I did this by writing out my title in the colour black and then I did this again but using the colour white. I put the white title over the top of the black title with it slightly to the right and a bit below. I did this so that it gives the effect of a shadow but at the same time makes the word really stand out. However, like the last draft, I kept the same font and also added in the lines running through it as I thought that it looked different and unusual.

At the bottom of the page, you can see a sort of black gradient going slightly up the page. On my other draft I did this in the colour white but to me it looked like thee page was slightly fading so I decided to do the same thing but in the colour black. I think that this makes the colour of the background more noticeable and bright.

I decided to keep the same quote as I think it explained a lot about the story and would draw someone in and make them want to actually read the article. However I changed the colour of the 'saved me' to white as I thought it looked too boring and plain as most of the writing was written in yellow. I added a lot more writing to the left hand side of the page. This is because I think the page seemed too empty as it didn't have anything to fill the page. In this, I added a statistic so the magazine seemed like it was actually rated 'Britain's best rock magazine', a 'chance to win' quote to draw the reader in and a 'festival line-up' quote as people who are going to festivals will want to know who will be there.

Under the competition quote, I decided to put a picture of the band that it's written for, 'You Me At Six'. I did this so that the reader could see who the band actually is and also to show them very recent pictures of how successful they were.
