What I did in order to improve my draft product into my final design were:
- I changed the size of the cutout image to look more like a midshot.
- I changed the font of the title to look better and less like a desktop font.
- I made alterations to my subhead text on the cover page. I instead of having subheads over diagonal red banners decided to have it placed on the side of the page as text which either appears red or ylellow depending if it shows over the white BG or black silhouette. This colour contrast was used to challenge typical media conventions.
- I changed the colour scheme of the whole product to just black, white, yellow and red. Blue, orange and green were all removed from the colour palette. This was so that the covnentions of colour use would be used better and not messed up.
- I changed the font of my DPS text to time new roman to look more standard of an article, and not look like a strange capital letter font which is not fitting with the content of the magazine.
The DPS BG behind the image of band members, instead of dark green, now has a more interesting gradient.
- Finally, I saved this new image as cover page final to be distinguished from its draft level counterpart. Already have many of the vital improvements to the product been made.
