Second draft of front cover

This is another front cover idea for my pop music magazine, I have used the edited close up shot of my model looking directly into the camera so there is eye contact which is more likely to catch the attention of my potential audience. The masthead 'Millennium' is in 'Franklin Gothic Demi Cond' font which is quite simplistic however it is clear and bold. The bar code has been placed in the top left hand side to give my magazine as sense of professionalism. The pug is a white circle with a black outline to make it stand out, with 'NEW' in the middle this tells the reader it's a new issue and may persuade them to take a look. The pull quote 'I'm the one who is normally behind the scenes' has been placed next to the model on the left hand side which suggests she has said it and intrigues my potential audience to read on to find out more, the text is in a 'Century Gothic' white font which is clear. The main headline is 'ISSY' which is white with a black outline to make it more prominent, informs the reader that is what the main story/feature is about. The smaller headlines are on the right hand side, the celebrity names are in white, underlined and in a slightly larger size as they are the most important. Then the straplines are underneath in black writing, using the 'Century Gothic' font again to keep it all linked. There is a black banner across the bottom of the page with more celebrity names to encourage fans to read it. The house colours on this cover are black, white and purple which has been used in the text and in the image to keep everything connected.
