Construction of magazine cover

During the photo shoot I spent a while trying some different shots at the bridge, that I decided I would use for my magazine cover picture (some of which i lost whilst taking pictures).This is the photo i will use for my cover.

This is my first draft. As you can see i made the mistake of making the picture to small, therefore i had to make it look busier with symbols etc. I will take out these symbols and i will increase the size of the picture in my final copy, so that the audience is attracted to the people within the picture. I will also make the 'splatters' more effective by making them more subtle. This will also make the magazine seem more 'classy' and therefore more 'specialist'. I will also change the fonts of some of the text. For example, all the titles of films in the list will become the same font and the leading of the text below it will be decreased. I will place the picture of the people to the left and the list will be on the right.

This is my final product.
