Final Front Cover After Analysis

When analysing my final front cover I realise there were still several faults with it. The main problem was that everything wasn't alligned which took the formal format of a magazine away from my front cover, but i fixed this in order to make it appear more formal. I then also rezised the barcode and also alligned this with the text as to start with the barcode was hanging on the side of the magazine edge and the edge of the girl on the front cover's cardigan. When making these minor adjustments I believe that it improved the magazine massively. Also after desiging and going through the development stage of my front cover I proceeded to play around and edit the font for the title of the magazine. I decided that the white writing with the marroon outline fitted the magazine front cover more and i also took away the underlining as this did not look good.

Final Front Cover

Before and After Photoshop

Here I am showing the before and after of the photograph I chose for the front cover of the magazine. I used Photoshop clone tool to improve the photograph to be magazine-like as I used it to remove her blemishes and I also used it to remove the distraction of the toggle around her wrist and the nose piercing on the right side of her nose. I did this as they bring attention away from her face and do not go well in the photograph, this also allows her to look like she is in more formal uniform without random toggle round her wrist and the piercing.   I also adjusted the saruration of her which allowed her to stand out more against the background. I also used the Photoshop clone tool to remove the bin on the bottom left hand side, I did this as this was very distracting and did not look good on the photograph.
