Drafting & Planning: Further Improvements to my cover page.

I have changed my pug font to Andre Heavy SF from Budoken SF. I have also changed the colour from deep red to deep pink. Secondly, I changed the information accompanying my headlines from Budoken SF to Calibri because Rocksound rarely uses fonts that have Serif.

Evidence of colour testing on my pug/coverline:


I have also evidenced the testing of enlargement and the use of anti-red eye in paint.net:


In addition to my improvements, I have decided to change the layout of my front page. I have decided to do this because when I was comparing it to other Rocksound issues it looked very different and did not conform completely to the conventions of Rocksound. In addition to this, I have changed my additional coverlines to upper-case. I have done this because it makes my magazine more realistic, and adds a professional feel to sans-serif font choice, Also, I have changed my magazine price to £3.50 (from £3.99) because although the price of Rocksound can vary, the more prominent price is £3.50. I also made the choice to change the Paramore coverline into a skyline, as I feel that my magazine did not conform to the codes and conventions as well as it could have,

As well as this I have added more coverlines, as Rocksound has numerous coverlines compared my my magazine. I believe these changes have made my front cover more professional and attractive to my target audience.
