Critical
Evaluation: Music Magazine Front Cover First Draft
As I look at my front
cover in its physical form, I believe it sends across the message I originally
intended and it fits the expected conventions.
Layout and Text
It is a clean design and
layout. The masthead is strong and stands out. I like the font for the main
coverlines and masthead but I should consider other fonts to make the cover
more visually appealing. The black text doesn’t stand out on its own. The flush
left cover lines are in a good position. I love the skyline. I might change the
colour of the text to white. I would like to develop my red boxes further as
they look far too basic at the moment.
Image
The image has come out a
brownish and white colour instead of black and white. The red lips I am happy
with. The images looks a little blurry too so I need to improve its quality. Her
eye connection and look work well for the ‘strong independent woman’ feel that I
wanted.
Puff and Buzzword
The puff and buzzword
need to become bolder and maybe the text’s position should be adjusted. I am
happy with the barcode and issue number. The red contrasts well on the white.
