Front page analysis

The main colours on my front page are red, white and black. I've chosen these colours because they all stand out and the black and white has a lot of contrast. The stronger, more important text i have put in red and a selection of a few words in italic to make them a bit more eye catching. The text I've chosen to make the biggest is the pull quote which i put in white text, with the word 'never' in red and made it italic as it's the word with the strongest meaning in the quote. I also changed the title from 'BeatzUK' to 'LOUD!' as i thought this was more relevant. I have made the title black with a thick red outline as it matches the colour scheme and also stands out very well. I chose the background to be black as most colours stand out when they're layered on this, and i found it worked very well. 
The lighting in my main image is very bright and has a tint of pink to show that the primary target audience is more for females rather than males. The brightness of the image also makes it more eye catching as iv put it on a black background. I have also made the title cover the image, to clarify that the people on the image have a lot to do with the magazine and the main article inside will be about them. One of the models is also making eye direct eye contact with the camera, making it look more personal and draws attention of audiences. 
I have also added a banner at the top of the page, to draw in attention as it notifies the reader of what kind of things they will find throughout the magazine. I made the banner a very light red colour so it still sticks to the colour scheme but doesn't stand out to much that the attention is brought from the other areas of text. I also kept the text in the banner white as i thought it still stood out enough and it blended well together. 
I have placed the issue number, the date of release and the price of the magazine in the top right hand corner next to the masthead as this is where the viewer will first look and the price is one of the most important section of text to the audience. 
I also put the pugs and puffs into different shaped boxes with black backgrounds but i changed the how transparent they were and made them so it was still able to see the main image through them. I used a thick white boarder on each shape. More over, i added two groups of five red circles, one on the right hand side and one at the bottom of the page. I again changed how transparent they were so its able to see them overlapping, i chose to put these on as it filled up the space nicely and looked neat and professional. The red also matched with the other sections on the cover.
