Development of my magazine front cover

I have been through a couple of ideas for my front cover. When i first started designing, at the time my finished front cover looked like this: This is my original front cover, i thought it was ok but i think it didn't look very
professional and was a bit to girly when it has to appeal to both genders. I also thought there were too many colours used on the front cover which made it look, to me a bit untidy. I also think that it didn't look too much like a music magazine cover.
So after lots of changes and re arranging, my improved magazine looks like this:
This is my new front cover, i think it looks a lot better now, i think it looks like a music magazine now. It also looks a lot more professional.
I also have used a lot less colours also making it a lot more professional and i also have lots more information on it, such as cover lines.



This is the slow development of my magazine. This is when i started with a compleyly new magazine idea.
