This is my final cover page. As I made the cover all my ideas developed and it is actually very different from my initial design. I didn't bother re-drawing the structure up as I felt it was much easier to just play around with the features to experiment with what looked best. I decided after taking my pictures that I wanted to use this head-shot for the cover, as opposed to a mid-shot which I had originally planned to have on the cover. I also decided to have a banner across the top of the page, which was inspired by a NME cover I looked at, I think this makes the page look much more put together and complete. I also moved the barcode and date to the top of the page to fill the gap in the right-hand top corner and allow the 'Amy O'Reilly RISING STAR' slogan to stand out more. I am happy with this cover as I feel it follows conventions and forms used in real media products of its type.
