This is the fourth draft i made for my front cover of my music magazine. i believe it id the most visually appealing bit i doesn't really suit the style of magazine my key demographic is interested in. I think the use of glowing text for the main headline make the band look like a K-pop band from a anime comic. However i think the text used for the other pull quotes and feature stories suits the audiences interests because it is in a type-writer format which has connotations of being dirty and rebelliousness which i believe will attract the right audience. The image is a striking image that uses bright bold colours to attract attention. The more dominant red colour in the models hair has connotations of passion and it matches the texts colour which shows the two are related. The use of red has made the image vibrant and bold that contrasts the white background, this has connotations of being anything but innocent and being mischievous, which again targets the correct audience. However i think the positioning of the pull quotes and feature stories is wrong because they look like a list just written on the cover and they don't really match the style of the cover; the same happens with the masthead because it suits the main headline but the rest of the cover doesn't match it which causes it to stick out a bit. This is both a good and bad thing because it means the masthead is instantly spotted and recognized but it also breaks the theme of the cover, making t look unprofessional.
