Comparison with existing music

magazine

The background the magazine I created, contains just a plain background, which does make the magazine seem professional

Some one the words on the cover lines are coloured in yellow and it is easy to tell the colour scheme of turquoise, white and yellow on the existing magazine.

This existing music magazine has a gradient background, which is effective in making this magazine seem professional. Furthermore the colour of the shirt contrasts with the turquoise background, which makes it stand out.

On top of this barcode. The date of issue and website of this magazine is written, which adds to the overall professionalism.

The magazine I created did not contain any website, or the date.

The fact that he is wearing a coat, makes my front cover seem unprofessional.

His body language and what he is wearing makes him look cool, which is a good thing for a music magazine.

The cover lines are not laid out in a organised way. Furthermore all the cover lines are almost the same size so it is hard to tell weather there is a main cover line of not.

The cover lines on this front cover are placed in an organised way. Is it easy tell that there is a main cover line on this page, which obviously relates to the main image. The size of these cover lines vary, so the important words are enlarged. This cover looks

unprofessional because the image has not been edited to look clean and some spots are visible which contributes to the unprofessionalism of this cover.
