Front cover third draft

I decided to do a second photo shoot for my magazine, as I was not entirely happy with the images I took first time round. I am happy with the new images I have taken and I think this image works particularly well on my front cover, as it makes the artist look slightly rebellious and exciting, which could attract readers. There are certain factors I would still like to improve on for this page, for example it might be a good idea for me to change the quote from my artist, so that it works well with the image. For example, it might be a better idea to describe the new artist as a rebel or a bad boy as this would fit in well with the image.
I also have played around with colours on this draft of my front cover as I asked people what they thought of my colour scheme for my music magazine. Overall, people weren't very keen on the idea of dark purples, greens and blues as they thought this seemed too basic and unoriginal to use for a magazine targetting young adults. So I have experimented with lighter pastel colours, as I think these colours are not stereotypically aimed for young adults, but I have found that pastels are often used for music magazines aimed at older audiences, for example MOJO magazine often stick to a paler house style. I have asked peoples opinions of the use of pastel colours for my house style and they seem to be a more popular choice, as well as this people have said they are easier to read compared to the darker colours, so I think there are more positive effects of using lighter colours.
