'S-Cool Life' Vs 'GRIME Monthly'

As you can see since my preliminary piece my skills on Adobe Photoshop have improved massively, in my preliminary I used a basic image taken in the school corridor, I didn't even know how to give the image a filter effect so it was left plain, in comparison to my final product, I have added a filter effect to the image this gives the magazine a much more proffessional look.
As for cover lines, based on my final product and my research into real magazine front covers, 3 cover lines is not really enough, which is another fault with my preliminary task. I think the choice of font on my preliminary task wasn't very good, I went for very basic fonts unlike on my final product I went for a range of different interesting fonts, that can really stand out to the consumer.
In terms of the masthead, the 'S-Cool Life' title is in a fancy handwritten effect font, its not very bold therefore is not very eyecatching, if this was on a newsagents shelf it would not be the first thing you see. 
On the other hand, for my main task I went for a very large bold font, I used black writing similarly to my preliminary, but because of my choice of background it contrasted well.
Overall I believe I come along way from 'S-Cool Life' and have produced a really effective magazine cover.
