Front Cover Improvements

Second Draft




















Final Draft



















As you can see, there were many changes made to my front cover after receiving feedback for the second draft.


  •  One of the more prominent changes is the addition of new fonts. The comments I received for my second drafts were that the fonts used within were too 'plain' and did not look very innovative. I think this is because I had mainly stuck to using default Photoshop fonts, rather than looking into a broader range of  them on Dafont. Within the time between handing in my second drafts and completing my final drafts, I conducted research into the types of fonts that would be best suited to my magazine. I found which types of fonts were most popular within my target audience, decided whether they suited the product and implemented them in. 
  • There were also other physical changes that I made to the product because of feedback I received on the first draft. One of these was that the masthead needed to bigger in order to reduce the amount of blank, empty space at the top of the page. This made the proportions of the page more equal and I was able to alter the size of subheads, essential info, etc to 'balance the page out' and give it a more professional look. 
  • It was also suggested that I could add in a tag line to the front cover. This would give the page and the overall product itself a more playful feel. It is also common place for music magazines to have a tag line therefore I felt the addition of this helped my product.
