Final Front Cover Draft

This is the final draft of my front cover for my music magazine.

I think my front cover has improved dramatically since my first draft, I have made a significant number of changes to this cover which I found from my feedback. I used the magazine 'We Love Pop' as a guide as I really liked the whole theme and layout of the magazine. These are all the changes I made;

• I found a magazine that I could use as my style model, this was key in helping me to create a successful final draft
• I chose some different colours, because even though people said they like the colour scheme I had, I felt like these were bolder and nicer
• I enlarged the font for my title and also changed the name of my magazine to something shorter
• I added plenty more images on the cover, as this was one of the things my target audience and I both picked up on
• I made the cover look more cluttered as I had too much empty space on my first draft which made my magazine look boring and not conventional
• I made sure I added a bar code onto the cover as this makes it look a lot more conventional
• Also, to add next to the bar code I put the price of the magazine on the cover too, as I realised after my feedback that this was quite a big issue
• I changed the font on some of my pages, I did this because it adds interest for the reader and makes the pages look better
• I added a page number on my double page spread as I realised this was an obvious convention which is small but would still be noticed
