Fourth draft of cover

This front cover uses a mid shot of my model, I have added a paint effect over the top of the original photograph to make it look more arty and the bright colours link to the genre of pop and make it look fun and youthful which matches my brand identity. I have used the masthead 'Loud' across the top of the page which has been placed behind the model, it is in the largest size and adds to the visual syntax. The pull quote has remained the same, 'I'm the one who is normally behind the scenes' has been placed in the top right in bold, spaced out text to ensure it is clear which will intrigue my potential audience to read the magazine. The main headline is 'Issy' which is outlined in black to make it stand out on top of the photo. Underneath the main headline there is a strapline, the 'NEW' is more emphasized as it's bolder and in a 'impact' font because it's the most important word and will stand out to potential readers/buyers. The black banner has been kept the same with celebrity names so it appeals to a wider audience, they are both female and male artists which means it's suitable for both genders. A bar code is placed in the bottom right hand corner to make it look like an actual magazine and the price is also displayed. The headlines are down the left hand side, the celebrity names are underlined and in a slightly larger size and the strap lines are underneath to add extra information.
