Final Front Cover

I have finally completed my front cover. Following my second draft I added features down the side of the magazine with headline of stories that will appear inside the magazine on both the left and right side. This made my cover look more full and busy which reflects the magazines I researched and the overall dance theme of the magazine. I also added a "Plus" feature at the bottom of the cover to show the readers all the different artists that will be included in the issue. I noticed in my research Mixmag magazine a tag line was used, so I recreated this on the top of the cover. Also, I encountered a problem with the title. I noticed on my second draft that the title was quite far down and drawns attention away from the model by covering her face a bit too much. Everytime I moved the title higher up I lost the dot off the 'i' in mixup. Therefore I decided to edit the title slightly to resolve the problem, here is what it looked like before and after editing:

Before:

After:





As you can see I made the 'i' shorter so that the top of the title was all in line and I could move it up slightly. This made the models face more visable and stopped the title from distracing you from it. I also thought this change made my features line up well and overall made the cover look better.
