Front Cover - Continual Updates

This is my magazine front cover in working progress. I have put this picture of Chris Brown there so that I know where to put my actual image when I take the photos. When I take the actual photo for the front cover then I will be able to arrange the text properly so that it looks more like a music magazine.

Whilst updating my front cover I know that I should make the masthead bigger, sort the kicker, lowlines and straplines out as well. When my actual images are there, I can change anything that needs changing as I see fit.

The second version of the magazine front cover that shows the proper image that I wanted to use on the front cover. I replaced the image of Chris Brown to one of Junaid. As you are able to see, the front cover is also still in working progress. Next time I hope to have the straplines completed. I also want to change the colour scheme for the magazine as there looks as though there are too many colours on there.

This bottom image is the final and completed version of the front cover of my magazine. As you will be able to see I have changed the colour scheme of the magazine, the font style for the masthead and even the main image. The reason that I chose to change the colour scheme of the front cover is because I realised that pink was not really a suitable colour for the cover and I wanted to change the colours because I wanted something that reflects and was similar to what Junaid is wearing as well as the fact that the pink made the magazine look too feminine so I thought that green would be a more suitable colour. I decided to place Junaid in front of the masthead because I wanted people to realise that he was the focus and he was what the magazine was all about not just the title of it.I think that the text for the straplines could be changed because I still don't feel as though it suits the style of the magazine and I don't want to have too many font styles on the front cover so I think that this is something that can still be worked on.

This image below is the changed version of the final front cover. I decided to change the font style because I felt that the other text did not really suit the front cover so it seemed best to try and change it to something that looked a bit more appropriate. The image has also been enlarged a bit more and this is only because I wanted to fill the white gaps a bit more.
