Front Cover

From finishing my front cover ,I have learnt new skills along the way using adobe Photoshop and analysising front covers from different brands. What I have learnt from Photoshop is that using layers is an important feature for this project, as I used dafont online to use on my front cover to make it look poppy! During making my front cover the main software I have used was Adobe Photoshop on the Mac suites. Photoshop was the most suitable software to create a well professional front cover that looked like it was from an actual brand. I did research on what a typical magazine would look like , and found out that typical conventions include mastheads , plugs and taglines. From this I evaluated and analysis other magazines to see if they had followed the conventions and to see what was positive and what was negative and how I could interpret that into my front cover. If I was to do this task again I would try different colour schemes and text to show a more bolder and older magazine towards an older target audience. Also with the posters added to the side I could try to make them look more professional posters instead of a loulsey bright colour backgrounds with contrast too much with my colour scheme. However if had to do this task again I would place things a different way to make it look like I haven't just left huge amount of gaps in my background.
