Front Cover Progress

When looking at my magazine, I have found that there was a gap between one of the sell lines and the  main sell line that made the magazine look uneven. I have decided to add another sell line to fill the gap and this makes the magazine look more organized and tidier.

Front Cover Progress

I have also changed the positioning of the main sell line and the information regarding it. I have made it bigger thus it stands out more in comparison to the rest of the text that is included on the page. I have rearranged the images on the right side of the magazine to move them further up therefore, leaving more room for the main sell line and it's information.
I have also removed the boxes from behind the images as I found that it secluded them from the rest of the magazine and made it looked more untidy and stopped the magazine from flowing nicely on the front page. As it was causing the front page to be messy, it would not appeal to the target audience as they would not like to buy a magazine that was untidy and unappealing as they would expect it to be the same way throughout the res of the magazine.

Front Cover Updates

I have changed the color scheme for my magazine. When I had completed the magazine previously, I found that it looked untidy and very dark which was unappealing and would not stand out on a shelf. I have changed the colors to various shades of blue and grey which brings out the eyes of the model. In doing this, I have been able to change the aura that the magazine gives off to one of a lighter and cooler feel. I have also found that in doing this, It stands out more and is also easier to read as the previous dark colors made it difficult to distinguish different parts. 
Also, when rereading the text include, I found multiple spelling mistakes that would not be seen if the magazine were to be professionally published. I have changed these to make the magazine mrs appealing.
