Final Mock Up Front Cover

This is my final mock up for my front cover. As you can see I have kept the same design with the splattered paint, the text and the layout. The only thing that I have changed is the main image.
I usually start by thinking about the background but instead of doing that, I thought about what image I wanted to use. I wanted to find an image that would fit the whole page but would still give me room to put text and headlines etc. I eventually chose the one I have used. Once I had chose my image, I thought about the background. I decided to choose the splattered paint image just as before. I made it exactly the same so that it didnt look silly. I also made the banner at the top the same but I just added two more names to it because it didnt fit. I used exactly the same title which was the same font. The only thing I really changed was the main image, I put the slogan underneath the title and I added a few more stories on there. I also put the issue and the price at the bottom so that it looked a bit more proffessional.
I may rethink about the price of the magazine and change it later.
