I am very happy with my rough cut front cover as I believe it is professional and sophisticated. The image stands out on the page and the striking facial expression and choice of styling makes it even more eye catching. I believe the fonts suit the genre as they are bold and the sharp and jagged edges may connote the fairly violent beat within some house and garage style songs. I think the arrow heads look creative and add a new dimension to the page. Additionally, they draw the readers attention straight to the name of the magazine.
I am pleased that I asked Clayton to look away from the camera as I think it may have looked intimidating if he was staring blankly at the reader. Moreover, by looking away, it adds a sense of intrigue as the reader is curious as to what the artists background is as there is no emotion in his eyes. There isn't much of a colour scheme as there are no bright colours on the page other than those within Clayton's outfit. I would like to change this in the future as it is an important convention in magazines to have a colour scheme throughout.
If I was to make any further improvements, I would firstly change the colour scheme to make the page more exciting in general. I will also make the writing smaller so that it doesn't overlap Clayton and look unprofessional and difficult to read. I will also adapt my bar code as barcodes stereotypical contain long product identification codes. It may also be necessary to take a new photo for my front cover as I would like to change Clayton's outfit so that it doesn't clash with the new colour scheme.
