Improvements to the front cover

These are my improvements to my front cover as it was recommended for me to change my splash and sub headings to a different font and this is what I came up with i decided that the artist should have her own font so it represents the artist herself and this font i have chosen for my splash of the artist name really links well with the word rebellion as it goes against normal fonts with normal sizes of letters and it shows that the artist is a rebel and really shows where her name comes from but the font is also very eye catching and stands out well from the picture and background of the magazine. Then it was just a matter of finding a font that would go nicely with the splash font but also go with the indie/rock genre so at first i thought of just a bold but also distorted font to start with which i thought looked good easily readable and it would attract the audiences attention so this idea is fine but i felt it was missing something to make the magazine different from indie/rock magazines. So my next idea i tried a new font for my sub headings to try and find a rebellious font to fit in with the artists name but also the type of music it is. So i found this as it matches the splashes font a bit as well to link it all together but also to link the genre of music i am trying to promote in the magazine and to attract the attention of readers but mainly my target audience.

So after i picked the the font for my sub headings i thought i would mess around with by added an extra colour to around the edges such at first i tried purple to link with my colour scheme but also so it can be easily read and i thought this looked very good so then i deiced to again play with effects and then i thought that the sub headings should have no effect but the quote underneath would be different to make it more pronounced which i personally think looks a lot better than the purple as it looks a lot more pixelated, so then to follow my previous mock ups i added an spray paint/ paint splatter effect and i used the one i used on my chosen mock up and i think the spray paint really fits in well with new fonts used as it links with genre, the colour scheme and the artist clothing very well. Furthermore, what i like most about the idea is that it links with the artists stage name rebellion its very rebellious and would appeal to my teenager target audience on the shelves.
