For my first front cover, I started by using very dull colours which didn't suit the genre of my magazine. As I was making a pop magazine, the colours needed to be bright and stand out to my readers. Instead, I made the cover look boring and didn't follow the conventions of what a pop front cover should look like. I received feedback from my teachers, telling me that my background should be colourful and that the light grey washed out the model. As well as this my fonts did not fit my genre, they didn't catch the eye of the reader and didn't make the front cover look exciting to read.
Therefore I decided to re start my front cover and choose a different colour theme. I used a peachy pink for my background, and cut out my model so she wasn't on a grey background. This automatically changed the look of my front cover would grab the attention of my target audience. I then found a different colour that went well with the pink, which was yellow. Yellow stands out against any background and is a warm colour, which is generally energising and makes the page more lively. Furthermore I changed my fonts, and chose one that would stand out to my reader and make my front cover more exhilarating to read. I changed my magazine front cover because I wanted to follow the typical conventions of a pop magazine and I felt like I hadn't done this due to the colours and fonts I had used.
