Preliminary Task front cover

For my prelim task  I designed a front cover for a college magazine. To create the magazine cover I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I found this software quite easy to use, it was simple and clear.

What I like about my magazine is that the image fills the whole cover and the model is looking directly at the camera. This makes it look like they are looking at you, this draws in attention. I added text that is different sizes to draw attention to the features which interests the reader, it means they have to look closer to the magazine to see what is included. The bigger and bolder writing is what readers want.

I could make this magazine cover better by spacing the text out more and enlarging parts, there is also a lot of blank areas that I could put further writing on. I could also make the text more visible to read, some parts are harder to read than others.
