Magazine Cover Development

This shows a development in my work so far. I have kept the title and the two colours in the corners the same as before. I have added in the image that I have spoken about previously and added a couple of cover lines. The main cover line 'New Singing sensation hits SDC! Interview after first concert!' is to do with the main image. I had to change the colours of the text for the main cover line so that it stood out in the way that I wanted it to. I used a bright yellow for the word 'New' because I thought this word would be the most important one that needed to stand out. I also made it larger for the same reason. The next line 'singing sensation hits SDC!' is in white because it is clear to read against the background, I also made this text fairly large so it would also stand out. I made the next line 'Interview after first concert!' a light blue because this also stands out against the background and keeps with the blue South Downs theme. I also made it italic because it made it interesting and unusual keeping the interest of the reader. 

For the other cover line 'Bus Nightmare' I downloaded a font from the internet, this font was Beurk. Once I had downloaded this font it was instantly put into my font bank from there I could import it into my programs and it is now available on all of my programs where I can use text. I used this font because it depicted what the cover line was about it gave a sense of comedic horror to the cover line making it more interesting to the audience. I used green for the outline of the text to keep with the green of the South Downs theme. I may have to change the text colour for the word 'Bus' because it does not stand out enough.
