My front cover developments

1st Draft

Used the colour scheme of red, turquoise, black and white - simple & classy

Layout is plain and simple making it easy to read but needs more text and the barcode moving, I also think that the masthead needs to be made bigger and the “space” needs filling up.

2nd Draft

I changed the layout so that the main feature sub line matched with the image also I changed the layout of the catch line so it ran down the side of the treeI moved the barcode to the bottom right hand corner and created a catch line and banner by the masthead

3rd Draft

I made the banner bigger and changed the catch line so that the magazine looks more eye catching and appealing to the intended audience

4th Draft

I used the shape tool to make a “sticker” type shape on my magazine to help it stand out as my intended audience said there was too much spare space that needed filling

FINAL

I then added an issue number and added effects such as embossing on my text and “sticker”
