Asking people on facebook and people around my college about my frount cover



I asked people on facebook and people around my college to look at my 2 drafts for my front cover and: I need your opinion on which looks better, and your response to these magazine covers and how could I improve on them and make them better. (this is just a draft for my media coursework)

Just needs cropping, lots of empty space up top...
If it were me, i'd move the model a little to the right, that way the focus of attention will be balance between her and the mag title (it'll be ok to crop her left arm, it'll make the shot tighter). I'll move "remix" a bit lower
Other than that, great job, love the font you used...''


(people)
  • The masthead needs to be over or behind the image to make it look more professional.
  • Sell line needs to be a bit down and larger- as it quite hard to read.
  • Change masthead font as it looks to pixulated- my be due to the printer
  • Put text in the space next to the masthead.
  • Change the colour of the main head line to something more easy to read.

I like the contrast of colours, the image on this is more fitted for the style with the darkness of it, whereas the other was to bright.

Tips from my a-level media and film days:

-Make the Main sell-line much bigger
- Move the image forwards in-font of the title.
- Move the price and issue number down next to the bar code and shrink the size of it, for it is unimportant detail. Include a website to the magazine next to the bar code as well.''


(people)
  •  Masthead bigger
  • The girl needs to look more pop
  • The style of fonts looks young and will attract a younger target audience.
  • The white font looks good.
  • Font for the sell line to be in the same fount as the masthead.
