Music Magazine front cover - Step 3

After not working on my front cover of my magazine for a few days, I realised that my title did not stand out enough, it was too small and didn't look very interesting so things had to be changed. Firstly I made the font size the biggest it could go (72) and I made all the letters capitals so they are sharp and eye catching. The layout then looked better as the title ran over most of the top of the page which is similar to other magazines. I then decided that the letters should not be pink, they should be black and have an 'outer glow' of pink to really stand out against the black background. I also changed the positioning of the artists name to the bottom left hand corner, this was caused by reviewing other magazines to find out where the bar code usually goes as I was sure I hadn't seen one in the bottom left hand corner before. The artists name was then moved so the bar code could be included, the bar code was generated on the Internet using http://www.barcodesinc.com/ which gives the magazine more realism.
