Analysis of Magazine Cover's Edit 1

Layout choices discusses here and here

Critiques:


The first thing that I want to address with this cover is that the editing and the blocking of colour around the artist is very poor. I'd blame this on the fact that I used a web photo editor appose to Adobe's Photo Editor, as I had to precisely draw around Seah in a coloured paint, and obviously my hands shook around her legs and head. To target this next time I will use a qualified photo editor.
I chose the image because I thought that it was interesting and dynamicful due to the artiust closing their eyes, however now I regret it because I feel a close up shot would be more adaquet for the layout.

Concept:


The colour scheme of blue and pink was decided based on the colour of the dress which had a blue smock and pink collars. Originally I wanted to make the colours more reddish to accompany the title as obviously with the word 'Cherry', most people envision red... however I thought that if I did this, then all issues would have to have red, white is very restricting. I think the colour scheme is aesthetically pleasing as I've chosen pastel shades, however I also think that it's a bit too mellow because they are all pastel shades, and there is not any vibrancy.
