Final draft cover evaluation

I used Adobe Indesign to create my front cover, this is a software that I have never used before; because of this I faced many difficulties which may have hindered my performance.


This is my finished design, in comparison to my original design I have changed the main bulk of the upper half. I was very restricted on the shapes that I could and couldn't use, meaning I had to go further and further away from my initial design. Once i had got the hang of the software I didnt face many problems, I applied a house theme which I used across the cover and would be applied throughout the magazine if more was done.

If I was to change anything about this it would be the colours, I would use another colour as the blue seems too intimidating and dominant, I also didn't want to vary the shades too much as it would lose its house style. I would keep the black background as it makes the lighter colours pop just as I wanted but the darker text I would use a different colour. If I were to chose a different colour it would be one that contrasted with the blue adding a more pop art effect.

When I do my main task of a music magazine I will take all this into account and also the peer assessment that will be done promptly.
