The document discusses revisions made to a magazine cover design. The designer replaced the brick wall background with black for more creative flexibility. The main image was too light, so a photo effect was added to increase contrast. Red was also added to take advantage of its powerful connotations. Box edges were softened and glow was adjusted to create a more inviting feel and balanced design. Additional stories were included to fill out the cover rather than excessive text or headlines.

1. After comparing my contents and front
cover I noticed that there was a lack of
synergy. This consisting in the
background of the two. I decided to
eliminate the brick wall previously
backing my main image. I replaced this
with just a black background which gives
me a lot more chance to be creative as
most things will look presentable with
the black background.

2. Another thing I noticed after I did this process
was that the image was just too light for it to be
contrasting the background and it was evident
that the actual photograph was taken in a place
where a lot of light was present as you can see
the reflection of his face.
Therefore I decided to play around with the
word effect available to be and I can across this
one. I decided to use it as I believe it looks very
suitable and suits the hip hop genre well due to
its dull coloring and mystery.

3. I have changed the colour of
my strap line to create a
more consolidated cover. I
used grey in one of the
stories therefor I decided to
change something else to
grey.
After standing away from my cover and
taking a second to analyse positioning
and colouring I thought that it lacked
some of the colour red. This colour is
one of the most powerful colours
having many connotations like danger,
love or blood therefor as its suitable I
thought I should really use this to my
advantage. I added some glow behind
the text to create a triangle affect on
my front cover
On this side of the page It
seemed to sharp and
everything stood out to
prevalent to the rest of the
stories. Therefor I took
away the sharp corners
from boxes and added a
more subtle glow to a
couple of things to add a
more inviting feel towards
the audience.
After adding the Fetty wap
album deal I decided that
the front cover was lacking
even more contents.
Rather than filling my page
with writing and pointless
headlines I decided to add
some more in depth
stories.
