The author summarizes the key differences between their preliminary college magazine cover and their developed music magazine cover. For the college magazine, the text layout was misaligned and unclear, and the image was poorly incorporated. In contrast, the music magazine had neatly right-aligned text, a more professional-looking masthead, an intentionally photographed image representing the genre, and a model pose depicting a musician. Overall, the author learned to better represent the target audience and make the design look more polished and like existing media examples in their developed music magazine cover compared to the preliminary college magazine cover.
