critique of front cover

Critical Evaluation of first draft and front cover

My front cover does give information about what my magazine is and what is inside of it. For example my cover lines state some of the articles that are included inside of it. My magazine is also called Lyric and that implies that it is a music magazine along with the cover lines. The cover lines are clear as I put them in colours that standout or in black boxes. My cover lines do not go over the face of the model but do go over the body of the model but I think this is okay as they can still see who is on the front cover. The main mast head font works but the font below them in the black boxes could be changed as it is very similar to the font above. I also feel the masthead is easy to read because of the colour. My white background works but to make it even better I could make the page a little bit more crowed as to much white space is showing. I do have a barcode but I haven’t added a date, price or issue number which I know is needed desperately. My front cover is bright and the model is of a suitable age so yes I feel it is suitable for my target audience. I have used most of the conventions but still need to add a date but over all it does look like a music magazine. This magazine does look how I intended it to be but there do need to be some adductions’ such as date and price. Plus possibly some of the font type changed.
