Initially, the front cover was the image on the left. However, after much deliberation, it was decided that the model's appearance was not suitable for the genre of my magazine (indie-/alternative-/folk-rock). She exuded more of an innocent and pure image despite the indie clothing and graffiti background. Moreover, I felt as though my first front cover lacked professionalism - there was no colour scheme and there was little variation in font sizes. In the end it resembled more of a pop-punk magazine, similar to Kerrang! or Rock Sound. Therefore, I used another model and changed the colour scheme. I much prefer the second front cover as it corresponds more with the grunge ambience that indie rock often emanates.
