Music Magazine: Final Cut Front Cover

FRONT COVER

A recurring gripe with the front cover was that the layout of the photograph had too much empty space, with too much attention paid to the left of the page when the model was on the right. So I retook the photograph. The image that made it into the final cut is a close up of my model stroking his chin, wearing sunglasses. The image is centered and taken from a one point perspective. The majority of the text revolves around the face of the model as to not obstruct the reader's view.

Headers on the front page are presented in bold white block capitals with the subheadings in lower case but nevertheless bold(ish) white capitals. One of the complaints I received was that the white text didn't really stand out. Taking that into account, some of the text has a bold black outline around it. Also some of the subheadings are presented in red boxes so that the text pops out. I also included a circular graphic on the left of the page, which is designed to be eye catching to the reader. The word 'Free' is in large, bold capitals, as it is probably the most appealing of part of the text. The rest of the text is positioned around the word 'Free', but smaller as to not distract from it.
