being put across to the audience. Every front cover needs to have a catchphrase to help con- vey a certain message or to give an extra bit of information as a result I changed that and add- ed a catchphrase to give the magazine cover more emphasis
I had to make my coverline straight and in line but
My header was not in line which made my front cover look messy as things looked to be all over the place and gives the sense of disorganization. If I didn't change the positioning it could've lowered the effect as organization is a key feature for a good front cover. For that reason I used the ruler tool to add myself some guidelines to help with getting everything straight and in line
By using the front cover example I had, it had a small pro-
motion, and usually in every front cover magazine it has a promotion which attracts attention showing the viewer what they could potentially win by buying the magazine.
In my first piece I did not add a barcode to my
front cover which made the bottom right corner look very plain and empty. Adding a barcode made the magazine cover look a lot more original and authentic. I also added small details to it such as the date and the price to make it look more certi- fied.
