Front cover final draft

After taking into account the feedback i received from my lecturers and classmates I made some of the advice id been given and incorporated it into the design.

I found that i had numerous comments about my font choices saying that i should vary them to make the cover look more interesting and entertaining for the audience. You can see I made changes on the subheadings in that I made the font bolder and changed the font style. I also changed the font style when mentioning other artists around the page such as One Direction and Rihanna to there own logo and certified style which will be notice and be more appealing to the target audience. I changed the heading so that the font was larger to allow it to stand out more as the main article. And the sell lines I changed to a different font so that it would match the heading. I added a quote from the interview between the heading and sell line to give the reader a further insight into what the article is going to be about and intrigue them with that it says. I changed the font on the masthead after various comments about the font being too thin and not doing its complete justice at the top of the page by blending into the background. I therefore made the text thicker and bolder to allow it to stand out to the audience and amongst all of the other features on the page.

I noticed that the puff overwhelmed the page and made it look too clustered, therefore to solve this problem I made the puff smaller, there was also a lot of spare space around the edges and made the text look smaller than what it was. By dong this it also helped the look of the layout as before it overlapped a lot of other features and looked squished in the left side third however now there is more space around the outside of the puff making it look neat and more professional.

As I changed the thickness of the mast head it also allowed more space to place the date within the letter 'E' making it more noticeable with the contrast between the white and black. 

By placing the masthead at the top of the page on full display to the audience it initially displays the brand identity of the magazine, backed up by the various other features on the cover which connote the music genre pop by the artists features and the main image.
