Progress Made on Front Cover

My first idea was to use a powerful main image, to make the band seem dominant as I wanted them to be the main focus of the cover. I firstly chose a masthead that looked rough as it links in with the genre of the magazine, however the masthead did not stand out enough even when adding a black background to it. At the top of the cover I promoted a ‘FREE CD’ and a competition to interest my readers to buying it.

I changed my masthead completely as the old one was not eye catching enough. For the new masthead I merged some images of skulls into the text and made it bold. I uses the colours red and black as they went with my colour scheme. I also added a plain grey background, I didn’t want the background to be busy as I didn’t want to take away attention from the main image.

I flipped the image so that the model with the white top was where the additional cover lines are, this made the text more easy to read. I used the colour white for the typography in the middle because it shone out from the black clothing.

I decided to change the grey background into a dark red picture of brush strokes. Because I changed the background I also had to change the colour of the masthead because the red blended in with the background. I added a white glow to my masthead to make it stand out. I also changed the colour of the swirls either side of the main colour line (which were previously white) so that they went well with the colour of the background. I also added finishing touches such as a barcode price and date. I also separated the additional cover lines by adding lines between them.
