           While I was much happier with how my new cover page was turning out and thought it was looking great, I was struggling with the conflict that while the cover page was looking too empty to me, at the same time I was not sure how to integrate the cover lines without it looking too awkward or without it looking like it was being lost in the background.      I began researching magazine covers online to see how they integrated their cover lines, so I could take inspiration and work it into my cover page. Eventually, I found this cover page and saw what they did, and thought it could work well for my cover page. I thought what they did with the cover lines was simple and that it was something I could easily take inspiration from for my cover page.     So I began integrating my cover lines into this draft of the cover page based on what the other magazine cover did: I had my three cover lines, all one on top of each other, they...

           Even though I was having more success with the cover page now that I had the auditorium walkway image as the background, I was still not satisfied with how the cover page was looking. Even with the addition of the colored border, the integration of the colors, and the text backgrounds, I did not really like how my magazine cover page looked, and I felt stuck, as I did not know what to do.     But as I was working on this first draft, I found another magazine cover page that I thought looked good and thought that I could redesign my cover page based on it. So I began to use this magazine cover page as a new basis with hopes of having greater success with the integration of my color palette and being able to finally use one of the pictures of the movie theater auditorium seats as the cover image.     Thankfully, I started to have greater success working with this template and I was much happier with how my cover page was looking...

             Now that I had taken the pictures, it was time to begin making the cover page, using the cover page I mentioned in one of my previous blogs as an inspiration. Based on what I knew about how magazine front covers typically looked, I started making a first-draft magazine cover with the color palette I chose and started experimenting with the pictures and colors to see which combination would work best.     I really wanted one of the pictures taken of the movie theater seats to be the main cover image, but when I was importing the images into the template, it was not looking good to me, I felt that none of the pictures that included the movie theater seats were working well with the text, no matter what colors I was applying to the text or what stroke or shapes I was using with the text.      So I had to start looking for a different image for the cover and imported this picture of the walkway of one of the auditorium...
