Mock up using pictures

To improve my second mock up I think I need to be careful of the colours I use, as in this there is a lot of pink shades which could attract more women to this magazine then men. Also the colour contrasts between the colours I have picked do not complement each other well and make the magazine look tacky. I have stuck to the conventions of a magazine with a selling line etc. I think this works well as it draws your attention to what is inside a magazine. Although I have other things in on this cover that stand out more and draw your attention to the wrong place.

To improve my mock-up of my magazine using pictures from the internet, I think I could off made my fonts more bold and noticeable and have more interesting things on the cover lines and the main cover line story to be better. I stuck to the conventions but I didn’t have a lot of features on like other stories and quiz’s etc. My magazine wouldn’t attract the people who I intended too because it seemed quite dull and the colours do not contrast each other well. Although my picture does represent the picture I am showing because it shows a picture of a main singer out of one of the largest bands that would be featured in this magazine. I also need to add a barcode and make the date more visable.
