Development of Front cover

My developed Front cover:

 My initial Front Cover:


My initial front cover i felt lacked information and also lacked something within the photography as my eyes could not be seen even after altering the color levels and shadows of the photograph. the information on the cover was brief and there was a lot of empty space i felt could potentially hold more information for readers, also due to the lack of information a viable selling point that was potentially being missed.


After this thought i added eyes into the photography, by adding inhuman eyes it fitted the genre to a higher degree, making the main image seem inhuman and perhaps something that does fit in society largely representing the metal genre and there audience. This in turn makes the magazine more relatable to readers, I also added more text into the front cover, this adds more information that would be inside the magazine. also filling the space making the front cover feel more used.
