For my cover design I didn't receive very many improvements, but actually received many compliments. Many compliments said that it looked a lot like a real magazine cover page, especially the wellness type magazines. But, a few improvements were stated saying some of the fonts were bland, the background was white and too plain, and some of the subtexts needed to be moved around or enlarged. So, the first revision I made to the midterm cover page submission was move around and enlarge some of the subtexts. I enlarged the black circle and increased the font size by 4 points because during the viewing, the words were too small and hard to read. I made a few other small adjustments like moving "The Wellness Lifestyle" to the right to center out the page more, making it more eligible. Next, I changed the fonts from Calibri to Courier New on the pink and black captions under the subtexts. This made the fonts more fun and eye-catching, opposed to the bland and boring font they used to be. I decided to not revise any of the subtext fonts because they replicate how a real magazine cover looks, and are already so exciting and different. The final revision I made was changing the background from a white/light grey color to a darker grey color. I did this to make the cover "pop" more and blend the colors better, but to also keep with the simplistic/plain background style that is seen on almost every wellness magazine cover. Although all these revisions were very minimalistic, it did improve the overall look of the page, made it more pleasing to the eye, easier to read, and still mimic real wellness magazine covers.
