Construction - Final Front Cover

This is my final front cover. I am really pleased with this layout. I think the main cover line stands out so much more. I haven't changed the contents page much throughout the construction stages however I think that from my preliminary task I have developed skills along the way to help me create a end product I am pleased with.

Construction -Third Draft of Front Cover

This is the third draft of my music magazine's front cover. I think the outline of the plugs make them stand out more but also fills some of the bare space that was left in the previous drafts. I think although the kicker is simple and is not specific to the masthead it clearly states the genre of the magazine and so immediately the audience are aware of the genre within. Again, I think this adds a sense of professionalism and fills some empty space.

Audience Feedback -  I do like this page however I think the cover line needs to be changed. I think that having the plug lines highlighted is a good idea because they stand out amongst the background colours however they are what I am immediately drawn to on the page, not the main cover line. ,Maybe make it bigger or change the font to make it pop out on the page, like the masthead.

Construction - Second Draft of Front Cover

I wanted to focus on my contents and double page spread with the second draft and with making the house style more consistent. I prefer the text being moved up however I still think this page is missing something. I don't want to add another image to this page because I want the focus to be on the feature image. I might add a slogan or some text under the masthead and possibly change the arrangement of the main cover line. I might add something into the bottom right corner just to fill that gap too.

Audience Feedback - I really like the photo here and think the text arrangement look professional. I think there needs to be something else on the page just to fill a gap, something with some colour might make it more appealing?

Construction - First Draft of Front Cover

Using Serif PagePlusX6 I created the first draft of my front cover.
I am not entirely happy with it, I think the font could be adjusted however am quite pleased with the style and photo as a first draft.

Target Audience feedback:

I really like the cover photo, I think it stands out and looks professional. However I do think that the text needs rearranging and the main cover line needs to stand out so I think it would be useful if the font was changed and made larger.
