First Draft of my Magazine

The left hand picture was my initial front cover design for my magazine. After talking to peers and my teacher, it was decided that my magazine revolved slightly too much around dance. The picture was captivating but I felt a medium close up of the model would of made it more personal and effective. The colours were a little bit too 'tacky' and unrealistic. The genre conventions of the cover lines being on the left third were also not there and I wanted to change this but struggled to do this around my picture. After deliberation, I changed the main image which instantly looked better and moved around my cover lines and adjusted my colours. In all, my changed magazine looks a lot better and provides a wider audience with more reference to music. This drastic change helped me as it made me realise that other peoples feedback is very important and that despite trying to make the magazine exactly how I wanted; I had to think about my audience more so.
