This document discusses changes made to images and design elements for a magazine cover and layout. The original cover image was deemed too small so an alternative was chosen. A starburst graphic was moved from the bottom of the page since the text was hard to read against the white background. The background color was changed from pastel blue to a black gradient for a more professional look pleasing to the intended audience. A font downloaded from an online source was selected to suit the indie music genre by resembling a death threat and giving an edgy look. Multiple fonts were used to reflect the spontaneity of indie music.

1. This was not the original image I was going
to use for my front cover; however it was
more suitable then my original image, as
was too small due to the guitar jutting out
of the frame.
I originally placed
this starburst at
the bottom of the
page but, the
white was hard to
read against the
white top of the
model.
The orignial background
colour was a pastel blue. I
changed this as it looked
very unproffesional and I
thought it wouldn’t
please my audience.
Therefore, I went for a
gradiented background of
black as belive it wil be
more uiable for the
audience.
I downloaded this font from dafont.com as I
thought that it was more suitable for my
magazine than the original fonts present on
Photoshop. I chose this font resembled a
death threat thus giving the magazine an
edgy look, suitable for the Indie genre.
I used a different variety
of fonts as reflects the
spontaneity of an Indie
and give the magazine an
edgy look.
