I decided to stick with this image as it does give of a better indie/rock look. He also has headphones which shows at first glance of the magazine that it is a music magazine and it represents what the magazine is about, (music).

I also changed the size of the boxes along the left side of my magazine along with the size of the font. I did the because when i printed of my magazine cover the text and boxes looked a lot bigger than i intended, so it looks better like this. I also changed the positioning of the masthead and made it shorter so that it was more effective and looked more like the conventions of a front cover. I feel it looks bolder this way, not only because it is in black and a larger font but also because it lookes bigger better with the rest of the layout. If it is more eyecatching then people are going to buy it.

On the logo, 'get the best, old and new', I added the word music. 'Get the best music, old and new', so that the audience are more aware of what they logo means and what the magazine is all about.

I also added the price, date, barcode and website, as you would see on all magazines.
