Second draft - Cover

So, I've imroved my photoshop skills and added more details on my drafts of the cover and contents pages.

This is my second draft of the cover page. I used the same picture, but I've tried to make it look like as close to the real magazine as possible:

• First of all I've changed the font and colour of the masthead. Now it is white and looks more serious and simpple. I thought that white and black will contrast very well and also, th ereal magazines usially choose a font with straight lines and nothing very extraordinary and with massive detailes.
• I've also decided to live the crest on the cover and I've rote the number and date of issue underneath it as usually this is written somewhere in the upper corner of the magazine.
• For the cover lines I've used three diffewrent and quite bright colours which can be also seen on the crest. Also different fonts were used for the cover lines,contrasting with the background and highlighting the different themes of the issue. All the rest of the writing is in smaller white font. 
• The barcode at the bottom left corner adds realism to this cover page as well as the webside in the right corner.

Overall, I've tried to keep it simple and not add too much colour. I like the idea of minimalism in a way, because than the picture stands out more and everything is balanced on the cover page.
