I started off with the
font on the black background placed under each other, I felt that there
was too much space wasted by this design on the cover of the magazine. I started in Photoshop with the text in plain black, I then coloured it a dark red as during research I found that red was popular among my genre and target audience.I then used a faded brush to add the black shadow over the top third of the text, I felt this gave it a more natural look and did not clash with the background.
To solve the issue of wasting space I moved the 'Rock' to the same line the 'Of' was on, I feel that overall this has made it more effective as it gives me more space on the front cover for my images and stories. I got my peers to feedback on this change and overall hey agreed that this was a better design.
I then started to design to make it standout more from other magazines by using a white background around the original design of the font to see how it looked, I thought that the white was unneeded in this amount which led to the next image in which I took out the majority of the block white and only left a thin outline however after peer feedback I kept with the second design.
