After careful consideration and a lot of hours spent manipulating various things on photoshop, I went back to using the picture taken from the album launch and included the splats/sprays on the front cover.
For the masthead of the magazine, I chose to use a warning sign which was brightly coloured- Yellow used worldwide and recognised by many. That is also a goal for my magazine too (recognised worldwide). It can be a way of using subliminal messages to my audience saying 'Warning, Stop And Read This Magazine'. Then having the splats at the back of the warning sign, it give the impression of urgency being thrown onto the front cover as well as making it urgent for my target audience to read the magazine.
The barbed wire around the warning sign was used specifically as a way of representing Christianity remembering the fact that when Jesus was crucified, He wore a crown on thorns around His head. By having this, again I am able to connect to ,y target audience on an emotional level, which i think was successful as the iconography is an easy way of making my magazine distinct from others.
