Music Magazine Final Front Cover - 'Press PLAY'

This is my final magazine front cover, improved upon its previously published drafts. I have inserted an image with portrait fitting which does not appear pixelated and is not too dimensional in its lighting. The white background helps to shine out the more outstanding edges of the cover photo, which enhances the boldness factor of the text. In my opinion, the cover image's position over the entire magazine page means that it does not need to be further broadened, whereas areas of the text can do with a slight enticing technique. The main colour shades and swatches of black and green and the most frequent 'Charcoal' font the cover's synergy with the contents and double page spread which demonstrates a linked trademark amongst the magazine as a whole. The use of red at the bottom of the page briefly leaves the synergised font and colour schemes but instead works to maintain an attraction and an interest to the bottom of the page with the bold red block showing box-out minor magazine content, next to which is tucked a barcode to maintain published realism. The other changes in font are for the remaining box-out features, with each font corresponding indirectly most relevant to each of the listed three. Similar to a 'puff' or 'starburst' on the cover is the previously mentioned (on the draft posts) notification of the edition being a lower-priced Easter issue in an festivity-themed yellow colour and 'fluffy', even slightly infantile font.
