My final front cover


Here is my final magazine front cover. After experimenting with lots of different effects fonts and colours I have finally found the right one that will make my magazine look effective and professional. I have kept the same font throughout the magazine front cover as it would look bizarre if I didn't keep the same font. When making the front cover I had to play around with some effects as the picture was a little bit to dark, so I wanted to make the photo a little bit lighter in order to give my magazine front cover the full effect. When editing my magazine front cover I continuously had to make changes for example the motto, I had to move it because it was slightly on my talents face and because of the contrast of the photo it meant you struggled to read the sentence towards the end of it. When I began inserting text I tried to make sure that I didn't cram the page full of text and so that it was covering loads of my talent as I thought it would look unprofessional so I tried keeping text on my talent down to a bare minimum.      


My second  draft front cover


On this front cover I used pixlr as I have used for the final front cover, however I didn't feel like that should be my final front cover because of some small errors for example forgetting the state what edition it would be. Overall I wasn't happy with the it because of the text it simply just looks to big and it fills the page but it shouldn't have because I haven't included a lot of information. Just for these reasons that's why I felt like I had to made an alternative version which I am much happier with now. On the photo I played around with some effect and at the time I was satisfied with out but after reviewing the front cover my self , it just didn't look or feel right the effect managed to blur the photo a little so my photo no longer had the effect it did before it became blurred.

My first draft  front cover
On this one I just felt like there wasn't  enough on it and it didn't particularly look like magazine front cover so I was a little disappointed with it and I didn't waste anytime I started again so that I would be wasting time and that would allow me to complete the front cover to a better standard I tried to use the photo with no editing but It just looked like it was naked and wasn't very professional. There was certain fundamentals that I wanted to keep on my final one for example
the text colour , font  and some of the ideas I used I really liked the thought of and transferred them on to my final cover.
