Cover Layout Decisions/Photoshop

As I created the magazine front cover I changed some aspects of the layout from my flat plan. These are some of the parts I changed and some I kept the same.


























I decided to make the overall look more simplistic by using one graphic(the x) and using less text. The text on the top left and right of the magazine has stayed but the lower text on the left has been replaced by an anchor that links to the picture. I have added a pull quote to the bottom on the cover and used a blue box to link the black and blue tones together. I decided to turn the bar code on to the side to as it fits nicely and goes with the minimalist effect the cover has.The image has stayed in the center of the cover as I wanted it to be the main attraction but I have put some text over it. The masthead has remand in its place but there is less empty space on the sides, this gives it a tidy look. Overall I think I have kept to my flat plan, as I have only made small changes in order to make the overall look more simple and minimalist to achieve a indie-grunge look

Here are some print screes of the process I took when working on layout:
