Evaluation of magazine cover

I believe that my magazine looks very professional, I have included many conventions that are needed to create a good magazine, I used a picture to take up the whole of my magazine cover this allows people to focus on the magazine more and as its of someones face there attention is drawn straight to his eyes. My masthead was made using fireworks and has filters on it including drop shadow and a inner bevel, it is in 2 separate colours and fonts as that looks more effective, my headline is in a big white bold font with a black banner around it. It stands out on my picture as well and is eye catching because of the white on black background contrast. I have a banner going across the bottom of the page showing news about the magazine in a cartoon style, eye catching font, this also has many filters on including sharpen, drop shadow, inner bevel and glow. My magazine also includes a visual syntax as the masthead ends the reader looks at the picture mainly at the eyes and follows it down to the headline
