2. • My first front cover needed many improvements such as:
• A consistent background which wasn’t faded, faded backgrounds
are not really a convention of music magazines.
• Removing the colour green as music magazines tend to use yellow
and red more.
• The front cover was too structured meaning it wasn’t suitable for
teenagers and older.
• The cover image needed more conventions of Hip Hop magazines
e.g. sunglasses.
• It also needed more modern forms of convergences such as a
Code which you can scan with your smart phone
First Draft
3. Second Draft
I have changed the
colour yellow and
kept some of the
writing white as
these are
conventions of
music magazines
I have used
skylines to make
the names of
other artists stand
out
I have used
another cover
image with him
facing the other
way and with
sunglasses
I have added a
code which can
be scanned with
a smartphone
and a website
underneath
An ID and a
username has
been added
Instead of a
faded
background I
have used a
grey consistent
one which
contrasts more
with the
background
The second
draft is less
structured
