The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover. The author started by adding text pieces to make it more inviting while ensuring it wasn't cluttered. An image was added but had to be removed for copyright reasons. Font sizes were adjusted to improve readability. Additional details like the artist name, expected content, and barcode were incorporated to bring the cover together for the target audience. Color and positioning were refined to make key elements like the artist name stand out effectively.

1. I had by now started to add in additional
information on the cover to make it more
inviting and magazine-like. I had to think
about where to place each piece of text
so that it was readable and appropriate
yet make sure that it wasn’t being
cluttered or over-done.
I added in an album cover image of a
real-life musician to make my front page
look more appealing but I later found out
that because it wasn’t an image of my
own, I couldn’t use it.
I am carrying on adding information to
my front page and have managed to fit in
a bit of text that looks and fits perfectly
at the top of my magazine front cover.

2. Unfortunately, the font I have been using
for my artist’s name is too pixelated
when it’s made bigger so I have had to
change the larger font to a different one
but in a similar style.
This is essentially my first point at which
my magazine is really coming together
through how everything fits in. I still have
aspects of it to do like having the barcode
and potentially more information.
I am now trying to make my artist’s name
stand out more on the magazine but by
using this shade of pink, it doesn’t stand
out very much. I have also put in some
additional information just below the
artist’s name on what the audience will
be expecting inside the magazine.

3. I have changed the colour of the artist’s name
to make it stand out more and it luckily still
complies with the colour scheme. Also, it
stands out more and my magazine front cover
is looking like it will almost be completed.
I have made the ‘free’ at the top
of the page look bigger and more
stand-out as it is something that
would interest the reader
greatly. Also, I have moved the
barcode to a place that isn’t
drawing attention away from
texts. Moreover, the artist’s
name is in its final destination
and through the choice of colour
and positioning I think that as
the final front cover, it looks
good and overall appeals to my
target audience well and
successfully.
