Cover, contents & DPS

1. This is a draft copy of my magazine cover, what I
like and what works well is the colour scheme to
create my chosen genre-Indie. I think in order to
make it a better, I need to change and alter the
masthead to something less adult like, because at the
moment, with regards to this cover, the masthead
looks quite sharp and harsh looking in comparison
to the text on the cover. However I am very pleased
with the overall outcome of my draft copy. This
cover follows the codes and conventions of an
actual magazine cover because, the colour scheme is
consistent, and there is a variety of text types- puffs
and right hand thirds. There is also a barcode which
is relevant, I need to put a price on there too, when I
alter parts of it.

2. Draft Copy-Contents
This is a draft copy of my contents page, what I like
about this is the fact that it looks like part of the
magazine due to the constancy of clothing on the
main model also the masthead and colour scheme.
With regards to altering this for my final design, I
need to add some text next to the main artist and
possibly crop out the background, so that he is the
main attention. I like this as my contents page
because there is a variety of text telling us exactly
what's new/on. I like the variety of different photos
from mid shots and long shots.

3. Draft Copy-DPS I am currently working on
this as my draft DPS. What
needs improving is the
background, making it a
similar or the same colour as
the front cover just for
consistency of it. However I
like the image and the
overlap of the text, again the
colour scheme is constant. In
order to improve, I need to
finish parts of it and possibly
edit the model a bit, so he
looks similar to the edited
version on the cover. Overall
I am very pleased with the
outcome, I think it meets the
codes and conventions of an
actual magazine.
