This is roughly what my magazine cover is going to look like, when it's finished. Some obvious changes have been made, such as the font for the subheadings. I decided to change it to a slightly chunkier font as it's easier to read when looking at it. It also creates a slightly more professional look to the page, as most popular magazines go for this technique. On top of this, the header for the fonts and the summaries are different colours so that the audience knows where the title stops and the information starts. The different colours make the page easier to look at and easier to read, so altogether the colour scheme stays roughly the same.
The triangle down the center represents where my pictures will be and is currently there so I know where about to put my headlines - surrounding the picture. Some of the words will overlap onto the main picture, but to show the importance of the focus. The more important titles are in a larger font as they supposed to be the more serious issues discussed in the magazine, e.g. staying in a healthy relationship.
Then, I removed the slogan, "What now?" as I thought it was too patronising and bold to put on the front cover of a school/college magazine. It could also be quite distressing as some students aren't too sure what to do and having that sort of pressure on the front page of a magazine would make their situation worse. So, instead of thinking of a new one, I decided to leave it out. Not only that, but the entire page itself looks a lot tidier than before.
