Front cover evaluation

My first problem with my magazine is that it could be perceived as a rock magazine instead of a Country Western magazine, because of the font I had chosen for the sell lines I included around the page. Originally I got my inspiration from Carrie Underwood; she sings country songs but includes her own style of smashing things up and sings quite angry songs, that's where I got my inspiration from where I include a stereotypical image for a Country Western music magazine of a girl with a guitar, but incorporated my own style into the cover using unusual fonts.
When I started to research the Country Western music, I realised that they slowly developed over time being less folk music and more loud, outstanding and intimidating yet still keeping the past trends of guitars and cowboy hats, guitars and fashion. That is what I try to portray through my magazine, that it would still be recognised as a Country music magazine but it would still make people wonder what the genre of it could be. In a way this could increase my readership because the audience would want to know what is involved in the magazine and what kind of music is being advertised.
I personally am very optimistic with how my front cover turned out, because it does not look too cluttered or organised just like I said it would in my questionnaire results, but also it still witholds my perception of a Country Western music magazine with my own indiviudal style.
On the other hand the changes I would make for my final front cover would be for my quote "try till the end, never give up Emily Jayne Smith", I will change the colour of the font as it is nearly the same colour as the background image and could be quite hard to read for the audience, and I will also change the type of font involved for this quote as I do not like how it is turned out it looks too much like the font for films when it states on the screen; "The End".
In conclusion this is my second draft of my front cover, and once I make the changes I have mentioned my front cover will finally be completed. However I am enthusiatic how this specific front cover has turned out, and will only make the changes I have already mentioned otherwise it will begin to look too cluttered and might loose the music genre altogether.
