Front Cover Progress

Front Cover So Far! 

This is how far I have got with my front cover, after a full day of editing, inserting text and images and blogging. I am SO happy that I changed my image, as I really feel that the text and image come together a lot better with this photo. The natural pose and direct gaze and exactly how I wanted them, and this image looks much more suited to a music magazine than the last one. 
I still need to consider perhaps another 1 or 2 cover lines for my front cover, as it is all too focused towards the top at the moment. I am also considering including a small slogan underneath the masthead, to sum up the aims of my magazine. I also realise I need to consider other things, such as a barcode, a price, a date, an issue number, perhaps change the name of my artist and a background. These are all smaller thing which I can come back to though. I am just happy that changing my image was successful and I am now on a roll with this cover!
