Front Page 'Evolution'

My ideas for the front page have evolved over the past couple of months. I'm finally happy with a design and will soon be finished and posting the end product.

But for now, here's the 'evolution' in pictures...

This was my first attempt. I ditched this design due to the photo having too many contrast areas. The bright white sky also limited my font colour choice.

I also felt within me, that I didn't entirely like the whole design either. So therefore, I scrapped it.

This was my second design. I felt more attached to this one and felt as if I could end up using it as my final front cover piece.

However, on revision, I came to the conclusion that the character on the front page was too small and there wasn't much visual connection with the reader. So in turn, I decided to start again - again.

THIS is what I'll be using for my front page. Some major changes have occurred on this design; including a change in colour of the logo and the background.

The photo is also much more visually engaging. The close up on the face of the character being used is much more appealing to the reader and also includes a key aspect; the eyes.

I'm going to develop this piece by adding more text to the "PLUS!" section and by adding more text & images on to the main part of the front page.
