Music Magazine first attempt

This was the first attempt at my music magazine front cover. As you can see i didn't truly stick to my plans. The front cover has my original masthead name that i choose for the magazine "IML' and is in the same colour scheme red yellow and white. Looking at this first attempt of my music magazine front cover i can see that the overall effect does not really work well. The background of the image does not let text show up properly and also when i tried editing the background out on photoshop the image was not suitable for a front cover. Also looking at this i can see that the font i have used was not bold enough and the colours not dark enough as you can't really read what most of the cover-lines say. When doing my next Front page cover i will defiantly change the main image to a more suitable one that offers me a neutral background, i will also make sure that my fonts are bold and clear and are of a colour that stands out against the background. I will keep the Masthead and the colours of the Masthead the same.
