Magazine Front Cover Progression

I am finally getting near to my final front cover. I have changed the text layouts and font for my magazine. I changed 'sebastain' to a differnt font than 'gold' to give it that edge and the not so elegant look. Throughout I have used the font courier for the simple bits of text like the artists names, issue number, price, date and the slogan as well as some of the cover lines. Again I changed the title font as it did not really fit in with some of the fancier fonts. I underlined it aswell and rubbed out with the rubber tool by the 'y' to make it look nicer. The strap line at the bottom has been turned black and I decided to put the artists names there which I feel looks a lot better. I used a to seperate the artists names. The white font on the black background makes it stand out. There was an empty gap under Sebastians name so I decided to put a quote from my double page spread which would stand out to the readers and would want to read it. Orignally I went to colour this with the colour burn tool but some of the text did not show over the black bits of the picture. I coloured picked a lighter colour from the models suit and used that so that it all linked in togther. Again I used an elegant text to fit in the magazine. I moved the slogan underneath the title and think it looks really well there as it fits in with the title. Down the left hand side are my strap lines. I used 'inside' in a big bold font so that it stands out to readers. There is an empty spot on the magazine which I am going to fill with 'free music download'.
