Adding Another Sell Line

I decided to add another sell line '20 free tickets' to the cover because I felt like 'Sound of 2015' did not stand out enough by itself. 

I used mixed fonts to differentiate between each line. This helps me to establish a house style which I can use for my other pages.

The rulers helped to ensure that the text was neat and there was the same difference between 'Thane' and 'Hozier'.

Creating Wilderness

The font I used is 'Muro' from DaFont.com. I chose this font because it was most similar to my original design. I used the 'wide screen' effect because this allows me to put the date on the bottom right where it will look more organised. 

I used rulers to ensure my text would look neat. As 'Wilderness' was split, this meant that 'wil-der-ness' would look asymmetrical because of the four letters in 'ness' opposed to three in the others. To balance this I added 'combining music and lifestyle' in the same font below to help to create more symmetry. 

I used masks for circles and adjusted the 'feather' level which allowed me to achieve a spotlight effect. 

I added the text for my cover line in one of the circles and moved it to the center. I also changed the image to black and white to see if it would look better. 

The lines/box was another idea but the text did not stand out as much so I used the original spotlight design. 

Colour looked better and so did the original positions, so I changed it back and used multiple fonts which reflects what is used for most indie cafes.
