Mockup magazine vs Mixmag


There are some major differences between the actual magazine on the left and my own creation on the right. The most prominent is the lack of a secondary image on the Mixmag cover and the plethora of writing on the right. Both the masthead and artist name stand out and are much more prominent and visible as opposed to my own, and both are almost directly in the middle. The artist on Mixmag also covers part of the masthead due to the size of the image and profile used, mine however, does not due to the style and nature of how I took the image. Finally, another clear difference is the much increased level of photoshop. The photoshop is of a very complex degree and is additive to the image, whereas mine is much more simplistic and more complementary to my image. My next primary image will likely be of the same person in a more calmer close up wearing costumes and the background will likely be a black haze to give contrast to the image
These are all things i intend to correct when creating my magazine for the final time, and I am well prepared for this task.

  1. Right, so what is your action plan?

    What are you going to do to improve this? You need to do something as what you've done isn't enough to get you to pass. You need to make sure that you are looking at your image as a priority otherwise you will never in a million years create a plausable cover.

    Sorry for being blunt but if you don't think about this then it won't happen.
