Magazine Cover: Experimenting with type 2

After experimenting with a classy Sans Serif typeface ("Baskerville"), I wanted to try another type but one which was more bold in appearance. To do this, I chose the type "Cooper Black".
I chose this because I felt that it contrasted nicely with the script type I used for "Lang Lang".

The only issue I could see was the fact that I felt it was too refined when compared to the grunge tone of the rest of the cover.
To improve this, I altered it the same way I had altered the previous masthead.


This is the before and after editing.
I really like how the type looks after alteration.
This is how it looks with the rest of the cover. 

I am very happy with the outcome as I feel the new type on the masthead contrasts nicely with the script type, and they both share the trait of looking rough and sprayed.
