Current Progress Two

This is the next stage of my front cover, as you can see I have changed the font and the circle since the last post. I have also added more cover lines to the page.

I began by changing the font from 'Legend M54' to 'Indy Pimp', I done this because the old font didn't look clear from distance, therefore it did not look as attractive as it could be, The 'Indy Pimp' font is better as its easy to read and the overall look of the font is nicer than the 'Legend M54' font. I kept the black and red colours the same to follow the colour scheme. The bigger text: 'JAY-Z', 'DEVLIN', 'PLUS' and 'I AM THE ED-MASTER' is a font called 'Jailbird Jenna', I used this font whilst working on my preliminary task and believe it is original and attractive, so I used it again for the Unique Selling Points on the cover. For all of the text used I use a drop shadow and outer glow, this is done so the text looks crisper and is easier to read for the target audience.
The main story 'THE ED-MASTER' has been tilted across the photo, I done this so that it shows it is the name of the music artist on the cover, and it stands out clearly from the cover lines. The text 'Jailbird Jenna' has had a drop shadow, outer glow and a stroke added to it.

I then changed the circle I had created previously, I tilted the circle and text within it so that it looks more attractive to the reader. From my research I have seen magazine covers that tilt the writing of some main points inside the magazine so that they can be easily seen by the reader. I tilted the circle as the 'Top 10 Albums Of 2010' would be an interesting story for readers as they can see what came first. I also warped the text, using the 'Arc' option, I believe this makes the text fit the circle more, and therefore looks more attractive.
