Front Cover Progressions

After looking more closely at the fine details of my magazine front cover, I decided to edit it further, using a new technique I have recently been taught and learnt. I used the original header rectangle in order to create a more edgy and visually effective banner for the top of the page, to hold the main cover-line and magazine name and issue date.

I also filled up some negative space on the page by splitting up the central cover line into two smaller cover-lines. I used text drop shadowing to draw attention to it and make it look more visually effective. As I was pleased with the outcome of this effect, I also used it on the central cover line. I think that the cover is now close to being finished, however there are still some minor things to edit to create the most visually dynamic cover that I can.
