Updated ARCANE Magazine Front Cover

With the Feedback we gathered from our previous magazine front cover, we took the opinions and changed the magazine i.e. Changing fonts, change of color's etc. What this next "Draft" will show is the progression we have moved from to create a better front cover and show what we have learnt to improve.

Final Magazine Front Cover
As seen above there have been a lot of improvements to the second version. during the process of actually coming down to edit was hard as we had difficulties agreeing on different font styles, where to place certain captions, what colour's should be used instead of another etc, overall we had trouble in finding what could agree on. In time we came to an agreement on the majority of changes.

What were the changes?

  1. Rearranged the 'Date' and 'Price' to the left of the magazine front cover, as of other existing magazine layouts. 
  2. From our Feedback we decided to change the style of how "WORLD WAR Z" was laid out, and decided to have it all in one line as it looked neater and cleaner in terms of placement and look
  3. Furthermore we changed the font color of "Dirty Diamonds" to a beige color in order to have a match with the catch line and the title, to relate them as of the edition of the magazine. In addition to this we decided to have "Dirty Diamonds" in one line as on real examples they convey their title as shown.
  4. Change of color to the caption below the title as we thought it would be seen better than before.
  5. We added another caption at the left side of the magazine front cover, as we thought before the left side of it was very bare with information. We found that this type of style was featured in a number of other magazines, such as: Empire and Total Film.
  6. There was a little complaint about the 'Gold Caption' at the bottom as of where it is placed, but we thought that it looked more effective to just leave it as it only looks better there.
  7. Lastly we changed the size of the 'Barcode,' as we recognised in one Empire magazine the 'Barcode' was much bigger than ours before.
