PRELIM TASK- Final Ideas

This is how my final product looks like. I have made quite a lot of changes to my magazine cover's initial ideas. Initially, I wanted to keep my model's outfit plain black however, I changed my mind and used a red check top. The reason behind this change is the change of my target audience. My initial target audience included almost all age groups but I later changed it to teenagers and young adults. This led me to present my model's character as a complexed one as most teenagers in today's generation fight with their inner voices and they rely on music to make themselves feel better. This can be seen in my model's pull quote.
Furthermore, I changed my magazine's feature colours to blue, white and black. My magazine's theme is a fusion of R&B with soul music. I used blue and white to represent soul music because they are usually seen as representing innocence and purity, which links to soul. Whilst, black represents power and strength, hence R&B.
The reason why I kept "tunes" in red/orange colour is because of the colour theory where blue's complementary colour is red/orange.

Here's my magazine cover before I made major changes to it. After receiving feedback from my peers and teachers, I decided to keep my model's eyes in their original colour because the colour I chose for them (green) did not seem very appealing. Furthermore, I got rid of the arrows which were there to tell my readers about the other stories inside my magazine. In this version of my magazine cover, it can be seen that I used colour red instead of white. The reason why I changed it to white is because of my model's top which is also red and having red font kept on mixing up with the top.
