This is the progress I have made so far, since changing the brightness I have made some progress.
I have added a strap line to the bottom of the page, I done this so I could include more music artists and add more colour to the page, I believe this looks good as the red and black go with the overall theme. I added a drop shadow and outer glow to the text so that it is clear from the red background. The strap line was created by using the rectangle tool, and then adding the text (Indy Pimp font) over the shape as a new layer.
I then added the circle on the top right, with 'top 10 albums of 2010' inside it. This was done by using the ellipse tool. I had the circle behind the text so it is clear to see, as it is a unique selling point, as the reader can see what albums were the best of 2010. After inserting the circle I added the effect of 'gradient overlay', this makes the background match the background of the whole image, I then changed the transparency so the text would be more visible, I also added a stroke to the circle to make it look more distinguished from the background.
I then added the issue number and price under the title, I believe this is an ideal place for it as it is easy to see, and gives me more space for the cover lines. I followed the effects with a drop shadow and outer glow as I want the text to look the same through out. I used different colours for this as it breaks the text up, and therefore its easier to see what edition number the magazine is.
