Front Cover - Final

I have made minor changes since my third mock-up, however I am fully satisfied with the final version of my front cover.

The first change I have made is that I made the main headline "Francis Basco, Solo artist of the year" bigger. The reason I made it bigger is because I compared my front cover to other magazine covers, and I realized that it was just a bit too small for a front cover. I have conformed to the conventions of real media products since it has influenced me to make the heading bigger. I do think that it is more beneficial for the readers because it is definitely more eye-catching. There is a more likely chance that readers will spot the magazine on the shelf if the heading is bigger and bright.

The other change I have made is the size and font of the issue number and date; I have changed the font to Accord Heavy SF because it looks more eye-catching than my previous font. It would be more beneficial if the date / issue number is bigger so that the audience can identify if they already have this issue or not.

Those are the only changes I have made since the previous mock-up however I am happy with how it turned out in the end.
