Dramatic Changes To Magazine Cover

After receiving informed feedback on a rough draft of my magazine cover, I have decided to make dramatic changes to it as I wasn't happy at all with the visual image my magazine cover and the front image quality was also poor. As a result of this, I was able to rework the layout and typography of the front cover, by removing the image and then using various InDesign features to create a basic layout. The screen shot below shows the layout of the front cover as it stands, with the improvements made. For example, I was advised by my teacher to increase the size of the title logo, in order to make it a more prominent focus point of the magazine cover. Also, using the colour scheme of the title logo, I was able to create an ongoing black, red and white theme across the cover and onto the corresponding contents page. Due to these decisions to change the magazine's cover photo, I will be shortly carrying out a photo-shoot with one of my friends who is a singer and guitarist, and then I'll edit one of those photos to create a more up to date and effective look for my front cover.
