Creating my Front cover

First Draft

This is my first draft of a front cover. It still has no image. The first idea for a title if “Bass” and I am aiming this issue around a band called “It Girl” I also think that there should be more blogs and a better colour scheme.

Second Draft

I like the colours a lot more and the blurbs however I

do not feel like the layout is right yet and I also need to include a barcode

and price.

Third DraftI

I have changed the layout of the copy because I thought

that the main article should be

on the right. I also added the issue date, price and a

barcode.

Fourth Draft

• I did my photo shoot and eventually decided on this image because to me this is has all the conventions of a cover image. I changed the text to red to match the colour pallet and changed the font on the Rage Italic “exclusive” copy before removing it all together

Fifth Draft

• In this draft I have changed the informative copy to black to make it easier to read and to stop the page looking so garish. I have also edited the masthead so that it is all one colour so that the eyes are not darting back and forth looking at the different.

Sixth Draft• I changed the colour

scheme back to the more feminine shades and I changed the font to match.

Seventh Draft• I changed the hair

colours of the people on the models tee shirt so it matched the colour scheme better.

Eighth draft

• I softened the bold bright pinks and added a more subtle purple for a box to make sure that the text still stood out.

Final Draft

• For my final front cover I made the copy stand out and added competitions and a content indicator to the top I also changed the placing of the title and the tagline.
