This is my completed music magazine cover. From my point of view my skills and understanding of Photoshop have improved, not to say that I now completely understand it but more than I did prior to producing this piece.
Masthead: The masthead is more or less the exact same as I mentioned/featured in a previous post but there has been one slight adjustment. Which is clearly the "V" being yellow so that it there is some theme to the cover and that there is also a pop of colour.
Main/Cover Lines: I wanted to keep this simple as I wanted the main focus to be on the subject on the cover; so I kept the fonts simple (Trajan Pro and Times New Roman). By featuring four colours on the cover lines it clearly outlines some differentiation and also draws the viewer's eye to the texts. The main subject consisted of a brief insight into an interview with an alternative/indie rock artist; whilst the remaining articles are simply to draw in readers and those who are interested in those particular groups. As a result of Coldplay being a well-known/popular band, and the article on the "Top...Songs of 2015" being something that would attract potential readers these articles would help the magazine's success.
Opinion
Overall I think that everything on the magazine works well together even though I did make some minor alterations such as the removal of the skyline; the barcode and price being both moved and separated; as well as the main cover line being placed in the bottom left corner as oppose to the right. Having said that I believe that it's very similar to how I pictured it and because of that I am pleased with the end result.
