Critical Evaluation of first draft of front cover

I think overall my front cover works because it represents the genre clearly through the design. My coverlines are positioned around the band so do not cover their faces, however the purple coverlines are much darker which makes them harder to read. I think I also need to make some changes to the band name as that's dark too because of the purple font colour. The font I have used works well because its clear but I'm not sure if I like it yet. The background is quite dark so I will need to adjust that, along with the image because that is also dark and looks slightly too edited on Photoshop; which has an effect on how may magazine looks. My masthead works well because its bold and eye catching with limited colours so isn't confusing. I think my magazine will attract my target audience because 15- 17 year old tend not to like to read much and my magazine doesn't have much writing.
