2. DRAFT 1
This is my first front cover draft. I have used the
colour scheme of her blouse with the "Beats" and
coverlines and other various parts to make it more
attractive and organised, and i have used white
because it stands out and attracts your eyes. I got my
model to pose in a way that was plain and
looking forward so it is as though she is addressing
the reader directly.
Areas of improvement
- I could get my model to look more like she is directly
addressing the reader
- Maybe use more than two colours so that certain bits
of the page jump out
-Make a better barcode and place it in a better place
3. DRAFT 2
This is my second draft and I used a green banner to
standout on the page so that the reader can see its
limited edition which I have incorporated as “Print”
which ties in with the magazine name “PritnedBeats”
I have also used the same idea with the coverlines
which states there are other “Prints” in the magazine,
I have used big names in the music industry. For my
main image I had cropped my models image so that
only half her body was showing and changed the
colour of her blouse to purple instead of blue
because it stands out more and catches the readers
eye. I have used a white masthead with the words “
the music magazine “ going through it to make it look
more official and I really liked this idea
Improvement
-Make the font smaller
-Place barcode somewhere else
- Add more pictures
4. DRAFT 3
This in this draft and I have done something
completely different with this cover. I have used the
idea of colour splash to make the models clothes
stand out which gave me the opportunity to used
their clothes as a good guide to the colour scheme
which we can see in the skyline. I have also used
the same idea of putting “ the music magazine”
through my masthead which I have seen is common
in some official magazines. In this front cover it is
very plain and only displaying one article which
suggests to the reader that it’s a major story and
worth the read which is what I was aiming for. I did a
survey and found out that 60% of people thought
this too.;
IMPROVEMENT
-add more text/better font
-add more pictures
-add a coverline
5. FINAL DRAFT
For final draft I went the opposite way and made a
more classical/upper class R&B magazine. I have
used a different main image and I have changed my
masthead font. This was to give it a cleaner look.
Although the page is packed with information the
use of natural colours gives it a simplicity look. The
colour scheme I have gone for is gold, white and
black because they represent class and elegance
which is the look I am trying to achieve. To border
my cover lines I have used illustrator to create a
swirl pattern and I have used this several times
throughout my page . My front cover is now more
suited to my target audience and is audience
friendly.
