4th stage of media

This is my front cover I have designed. The main image has eye contact with the audience to draw and lure them into wanting to read on. This is to try and have a bond / connection with my audience (Mode Of Address). My writing I have used is very bold and very noticeable to the public eye. The contrast of colours work well with each other as too much of one colour would make the cover look boring. But, by putting orange, red and white together it makes the images and text stand out more. My only trouble with this though is the darkness of the picture. I am wondering whether to brighten it up a bit, to make my person more noticeable and not give the reader such a dark and dull image. And I am still wondering about the space between the smaller cover line and the price and issue date. I still have to think of what to put there.

3rd stage of Media

For my contents page, I had to produce a document in Word because I unfortunately do not have a format on my computer to create my work in i.e photo shop. I have saved many versions of my work on my contents but cannot unfortunately upload it. So, I will tell you a little about them. I have roughly about 5 versions, all in different colours, different formats, different photo images and different ways off approaching the layout. In one of them, my person on the front cover is my main image and I have chosen him in a black and white format, with a kind of rock star writing effect and a cool tag line on the bottom, advertising tickets to be won to a big concert.
