Below is my final finished front cover. As you can see I stuck wit the same image that I chose after the photo shoot. I added my magazine title "NewOrder" first as I planned the title to be the biggest part of text on the cover. I used the text tool to make sure I got the size I wanted. I kept the colours to a maximum of 3 different ones. I changed the colours with the eyedropper tool. I wanted all the text to match with Jack's denim jacket. I then realised that Louis was wearing a grey jumped and decided to blend the two colours together. This is why I have a blue/grey text across my front cover. I also added names of huge and upcoming artists across the top of my front cover to catch people's attention from the celebrity names. Again at the bottom I have include the band Arctic Monkeys. With the Arctic Monkeys being the biggest band in Britain without a doubt at this moment in time, I thought this would maximise the chance of people being drawn into my magazine. Also "WHO THE F*** ARE ARCTIC MONKEYS?" is a quote I have included, but is also an Arctic Monkeys song. I thought this added a clever twist. I did not add any effects onto the background or Jack and Louis. I thought that the black background fitted perfectly for the style of my magazine therefore I left it unedited. With the cut off circle I inserted from the shape tool bar, I included the text "WIN TICKETS INSIDE" this adds another professional look as many magazines add free sell lines like this to draw more of a crowd in.
Overall I am very pleased with how my final front cover came out as I feel that it looks to a professional standard.
