Final magazine cover

I have taken into account everything that was said in my peer assessment and applied changes in order to improve my cover.
The first thing I changed was my pug, I enlarged is slightly and made the text larger and bolder, I also changed the colour of 'autumn special' as i felt it wasn't clear enough before. I also took into consideration the comments about my masthead, i changed the font and made it slightly bigger so it becomes more clear and can be easily read. Another edit I included was the text colour, I lightened all the colours on the black background; I didn't want it to seem like everything was the same so also changed the shapes in which the text is placed in, adding a gradient and darker outlines. The final change i made was the strap line, it will include one on every edition meaning it has to be something consistent, therefore i came up with 'your weekly dose of misbourne madness!' this allows students to keep up with any events but not be overly distracted.

I feel like these changes have improved my magazine cover as it is the little things that sometimes aren't as noticeable that make all the difference. I am now more comfortable with Indesign as i have had more chances to use it for various things.
