From the beginning i have found my cover lines difficult to create because of the multiple colours in the cover image. I felt that the black writing I previously had didn't stand out and wasn't that clear, so to resolve this problem I changed all the cover lines to white; as white was one of the few colours that stood out. To emphasize some of the words I changed them from white to red, using the shade of red from the models top. I had to flip my image because the white writing on the models top blended in with the white cover lines. Cover lines need to be one of the main features on a magazine and draw readers in; I felt that the original arrangement of the image didn't allow this. I did try keeping the image the same and placing the cover lines on the right, breaking the conventions of a magazine, but there wasn't enough space as the front model is much smaller and I would then be intruding with the face. I also changed the positioning of the date/price to make it look like its part of the cover image, however I may need to change it slightly as it looks on the wonk. Lastly I just played around with the colouring of the skyline, using a shade which is similar and goes with the denim jacket.
