Magazine Cover

This is our magazine cover. We have just done an evaluation as we did on the poster and aligned it with a professional copy of Empire magazine and realised although we had come up with something which we thought was very good, we had missed a few details.

The first thing we forgot was the price, as previously mentioned these are just technicalities however they are what give the magazine that professional look.
Another small thing we forgot is the date. By putting the date on we can show we paid attention to detail. Also we have a bar code, a bar code is scanned to give the employee the price and so it looks better if there is a price on the cover.










We currently have 3 images on our magazine cover, however when comparing ours with a professional edition of Empire, we realised that they ten to have 2 slightly broader images and then more text. So we are currently working on removing one of the images.

Another problem we are having is with the text. The text that is currently on the page is proving to be confusing compared to a real edition of Empire. So as well as taking things off the page we are re-arranging the text in contrast to the image so its clear what each piece of text is for.
Also one one of the chosen images has been removed and the text  organised, we are going to have a lot of space on the cover. So while looking at Empire's layout we saw they had less images and more text, the text they had was all of different colours, sizes and fonts however still proved to catch the readers eye. This is what we intend to do get rid of things and make space for more text.
We have also decided to make the images we are keeping smaller, or have one of them large and one significantly smaller.

This is the edition of Empire we are comparing our cover with.
