AFTER
I decided to alter some areas of my front cover as I noticed it was missing several forms and conventions of real magazines, which would improve the overall look and feel of the front cover. For example, the main text advertising a well known artist which relates to the main image is too similar to the surrounding text and does not stand out from the rest. I chose to make the artists name in big text in a brighter colour to stand out over the rest of the text on the page, along with enlarging the sub-text to also stand out but not overshadow the artists name. This is a form and convention of many music magazines, having the main artist dominating the page with the related text also standing out the most. Other parts which I altered include the size of the advertisement at the top of the cover so this too would stand out and fit the conventions of magazines, where this would cover the top of the page. I also changed the size of the text on the left hand side, where the main parts are more visible and easier to read from a distance along with the smaller writing not having a stroke effect (outline colour of the text). I feel these changes has improved the overall front cover as it looks more like a real music magazine with more forms and conventions .
