This is my final front cover for my magazine 'Kstar'. I slightly deviated from the sketches and designs which I had perviously made. Firstly, I have changed some of the colours of the text as I felt that they clashed with the background. for instance a lot of text was hanged to white as it contrast darker parts in the background. Secondly, I added in a small text box at the top right hand of the magazine cover which reads 'win'. I felt this was necessary as this would both grab a readers attention when it is on the shelf but it also invites someone to read further due to its placement which sort of directs you towards opening it. furthermore, I added a blurred background which i made up from two separate images which I fuse together to create the scene of a bustling South Korean city such as Seoul where the artist is based. The blur I added to the background creates this idea of mystery which I had aimed to carry through the magazine.
From feedback it was suggested that I should have included a story about Kpop star 'PSY' which I planned to put on the right hand side of the magazine. However, I decided against doing this as i felt that this was not necessary as it would distract away from the main image and would make the cover feel very cluttered. The main image placed on the left is used to represent the artists raise to fame and popularity, by placing the story about 'PSY' across this not only would it not look extremely unprofessional but it would also take away from the purpose of using the half-face image which was to make an impact on the reader.
