At the top is my original attempt at my magazine front cover, my final front cover is below it. I then revised the front cover and began to make changes to it. For example, on my original front cover there is a big gap in the top right corner, which makes the whole of the front cover look unbalanced. So i took other bits of text from lower down on the page that didn't look very visible and put them in the top right hand corner. This made the magazine look better in two ways. Firstly the splash began to look more balanced and also the text became more visible. Above this text i put 'reviewed inside' this gave the text some meaning.
I then looked at my main subtitle in the middle of my front cover and in parts it didn't look very clear. So i then outlined it with red and it became more visible. I also then decided to change the angle the text was as it went against the angles of all the other text on the page. I then moved the main subtitle down the page aswell. I did this because the main part of the picture behind was covered by the it. To show even more of the picture i moved the 'go on tour' text to the right underneath the main subtitle. This allows the audience to see more of the guitar and the guitarists hand. Which is important, as it shows what my picture is portraying about the band.
Once i did this however, the middle of the splash became packed with all the text, and my other subtitles made it hard to see which part of text was with which other one. I also began to notice that at the bottom of my magazine there was lots of other unused space. So i moved my other subtitles down to the bottom of the page, and made them about the same size, to show that they are of equal importance, and not bigger than my main story. To show that these were still big features, i put an 'exclusive' heading above them.
