This is my draft front cover. I wanted to use a close up shot of my artist facing directly at the camera. I took this image, edited it using IPhoto and then imported it into pages. I then placed my text on top of it making the cover look more interesting with different layers. I definitely love the idea of placing my text in different positions rather than it all crossing the page horizontally. I think this has avoided my front cover from looking boring and will attract my audience into reading more. I inserted a black filled text box as the background where i present my artists name "Alice Kenz". This has made the text stand out from the rest of the page but doesn't over power the title as i have used a thin subtle font. However after showing this draft to different young adults i have received some useful feed back on how to improve my front cover. "Make part of the artists name bolder as i feel it looks to similar to the title "
"fill the blank space in the top right hand corner"
I also received some positive comments on what they thought worked well...
"I love how simple it is, i hate it when magazines fill their front cover with loads of writing."
"I like how you have filled the 'O' in your title, it looks very professional."
"The photo you have taken and used for the front cover looks striking and eye catching!"
