Front cover first mockups

Although I have posted the problem that occurred when I was making this front cover with the image, there were also a few aspects of the front cover that had to be changed.

As seen front the image on the felt, there were many problems that I had to over come when creating my front cover. As seen when doing the slash across the image, it didn't give the impact in which I had wished for therefore new some sort of an effect would have to be put onto the text. At this point I also didn't have a banner at the top of the cover, however when looking back at my research I saw it was critical that one had to be placed on. A bar code, a price and some sort of hint where the splash can be found in the found, therefore I realised that they would have to placed carefully placed correctly. The headings, containing the articles also need some sort of effect to allow them to stand out. The image doesn't have the impact as I wish it would, therefore needed to be changed.

When experimenting with the image, I knew that the first image was not as good as quality that was needed. Therefore when adding the image, I know it had to be slightly off centred, as it could reflect that of the artist and her past. To try and allow the front cover to flow, I decided to get rid of one of the headings to allow the page not to be so crowded. However this ha caused to much empty space, therefore doesn't allow the page to flow. I have added a banner onto the cover, with contrasted colours being used, which works efficiently and allows the page to professional. On the other hand effects still need to be put on the text. The headings still have to be moved from in front of the image, to allow it to stand out on the page and draw the target audience to the magazine.
