Draft of Cover page

This is a draft of the cover page, this is the exact same picture as I have used for my final piece, but I have moved the model over more to the right to stop the cover lines hiding her and to show off this beautiful image. This image also lacks volume in the models hair and plumpness to her lips, which I have added to my final piece.

This was a first draft of my musical theater magazine, the bar code being far too over-sized, taking up space which it didn't need, the cover-lines looking slightly out of place and odd; finally some of the font looks too washed out and hidden within the bright and colorful magazine cover. The cover-lines are not equally spaced out, showing the lack of rulers within my work, as well as, the thin and easily lost text which is used.
The masthead is very bold and eye-catching, but I feel that it is too stretched and edited, becoming noticeable to the eye.
