Fifth draft of cover

This front cover uses a close up shot of my model, I have edited the photo on www.picmonkey.com by firstly cropping it then adding the same effects of 'Cross Process' and 'Tranquil' to brighten the colours and make it look like a more professional photograph. I have used the masthead 'Millennium' which goes across the top of the page, in a white sans- serif font which makes it look bold. The pull quote is in the top left hand corner which is in white, spaced out text so it's easy to read. The white circular pug with a black outline is in the opposite top corner with 'NEW' in the centre which is in 'Impact' font so it stands out to my potential audience and it may help generate more interest in the magazine. The main headline is 'Issy' which is in a large size and is in white with a black outline to match the pug, this makes it more prominent so it stands out from the photograph. Underneath, the strap line is 'Brand new release' where again the emphasis is on 'NEW' because this is the word that will catch the readers attention. Other headlines are celebrity/band names which are underlined and in a slightly larger font to appeal to their fan base, the cover lines give the potential buyer/reader more information about what articles/features are included inside and intrigues them to pick it up. The black banner has been kept in the same place (across the bottom) with more celebrity names to appeal to a wide audience, they are all pop artists which is important to keep it linked with my pop genre. The bar code has been positioned in the bottom left hand corner to make it look like a real magazine and the price is displayed at '£1.99' which is a reasonable price according to my questionnaire feedback.
