Magazine front cover

After looking at my magazine front cover first rough cut, i've come up with a few improvements that i feel will make it better.


  • firstly, i don't like the title i i think it needs more colour. I have decided that i will add a little red to it to make it stand out a little more and work a bit better with the cover lines and photo.
  • I dont like how red the film title is, and i dont think it stands out enough, so i will change the colour of the writing 'pushing the boundaries' to white and i will try and make the 'Alex Coleborn' part stand out more whilst keeping it red.
  • I think the photo needs to be darker because at the moment it detracts away from everything else and ends up making the front cover look a little like a poster.
  • There aren't enough cover lines and i feel that if i add a few more it will look more like a magazine front cover, rather than a poster, which i think it has the slight look of at the moment.
  • Finally, i will change the stroke on a number of cover lines and also the mast head and the website. At the moment, many of these have a small stroke on them which makes them look like some kind of tacky word art from Word. I will replace the stroke with a drop shadow, but give it no distance and a larger spread so it ends up making a black haze behind the text. Hopefully this will be enough to make the writing stand out.
