Front Cover Work -in-Progress

I initially started with this image for my front cover. I decided to make my mast head bold and black because it would stand out more however after i added i image i felt that the mast head blended into the background. The cover lines are in huge font because its the main story. I added a black shadow effect to the text to make it more bold however the cover lines are overpowering the mast head which is something i didn't want.  (image below) B

 I decided to change the font to chalkduster effect to give in an urban edge which i really liked. I didnt want to cover the models face or pose which i felt would happen if i added more cover lines.  After going through many problems with constantly changing the colour of the mast head , i decided to change the image that was much easier to play around with.

I chose this image better because it had more space around the outside to add cover lines without disturbing the image too much. I  am currently using this image and is in working progress.
