Front Cover - Draft

This is the draft of my front cover, which I am quite happy with. I used magazines such as bold/large title, issue date, price, barcode, features, a competition, catchy headlines and a main image. If I didn't use these conventions, the front cover wouldn't look like a front cover. I decided to use a red title because red stands out from black, and I used white writing for the features because it contrasts black and compliments red. I used blue for the two numbers and banner at the top to compliment the red title and the names of artists also in red. The features on the right are right justified so that they are facing the middle which makes the model on the page stand out, and it also looks quite neat. I like the cover because it looks like how most magazine covers do, however I may make further edits to it to make it more realistic.
