This is my second draft of my front cover.
For this I made many changes which include;
- a change of front cover star image
- a change in inset images
- a change of background, changes to text and additional details included such as issue number and price
I think this draft is much better than the previous as it has more character and looks fuller on the page. I find the layout is better and my genre is conveyed more clearly now.
Next time I think I will try a few things. I would like to photoshop the inset images so they blend in better as currently I find them to stand out too much, I will probably turn the bottom image into an album cover so it relates to what’s being said on the front cover. I need to change the photo aswell as I have realized that it is the same photo as my contents page Next time I will also go back into photoshop and work on my model more by getting rid of his neck beard and making the cut around the legs cleaner. I might also try to make the whole thing a little fuller on the left side but ill try it and see. I think my front cover star is slightly squished so I need to try and fix that also.
