Final Front Cover


For my final version of my front cover, I added a black banner at the bottom of the page to make 'Plus! Sonisphere Lineup Revealed!' stand out more and so it was clearer than before, where it was quite hard to read due to the photo of my model being directly behind it. Next, I changed my main cover-lines so that the text was right-aligned, which made the text fit the page better. I also moved my model to the right slightly so I could fit text to the left of her head, as I felt the empty space should have been filled in. The text I inserted says 'Sean Smith + Young Guns + Green Day' to make the issue seem like it contains a lot of content. The writing is in the font 'Adler' and is red. The reason I used plus signs was because they are a very common feature on magazines, including Kerrang and NME. I also added a photograph that I took at a recent My Chemical Romance concert and flipped it so that it would face to same way as my model. I added a slight border and drop shadow to make it seem like a picture that would be featured on a real music magazine. I also added text over of the picture, also in red, stating 'My Chemical Romance Return!'.
