Unit 3 - Making of Front Cover

I had an image which is in the red circle, and I wanted to place in my font cover, but I wasn't sure where to put it since it needed to be accompanied by text.

I thought my image fitted will in the corner, and I put it on a slant on it as this will appeal to my target audience, as it makes my font cover look less structured. However the bottom middle part of the magazine looked bare.

I used text to cover this bareness but I felt the text was getting lost in the background and it didn't stand out enough.

I then put a bar on the the bottom. I made the text white and this stood out like I wanted. It also made the image light bulb look better. I also made the bar green which matches my colour theme and made it the same transparency of my mast head so it mirrored it.

This is what my magazine looked like afterwards.

I felt this made the whole magazine look more effective and powerful and it also filled up some space and made the magazine look less bare, which is what I wanted.
