Feeback Response: Front cover drafts

In response to the feedback I have received  I have decided to apply the following improvements to my music magazine front cover:

• Make front cover image blend in background more - remove shadow, add brightness etc
• Make barcode smaller and possibly add QR code
• Move up masthead to fill up more space and possibly make first letter capital
• Add more features to take up more space - to prevent magazine from looking empty
• Consider the removal of the 'Hot List' feature
• Consider positioning of headline - in relation to main image
