Front Cover

Seventh Draft:

I have re-arranged the pull quotes and titles of articles as I think before they were too close to the name of the magazine and there were not enough different names of articles and stetements to draw the reader in and make them want to read the magazine. I have made the 'Nikkita's first interview' wording bigger as this is the main article in the magazine and needs to jump out at the reader.

Sixth Draft:

I have added a light blue background, using the colour picker so that the background is the same colour as some of the blues in Nikkita's shirt. I have also changed the fonts because I think these fonts go better with the title and name of the magazine, they make it all tie in better together and I think the more important words and names stand out.

Fifth Draft:

I have changed the colour of the pugs as I think this makes the magazine look
more R and B. I have chosen a dark purple colour - the one I mentioned in in my
'areas to consider when planning' spider diagram.I have changed the colour of the pugs as I think this makes the magazine look

Fourth Draft:

I have changed the image back to the one I had on the first draft - as I
mentioned above, however, I have edited the photo in photoshop and got rid of
the background. I have also changed the font as I think this looks better and
adds to the look I am trying to create with this magazine.

Third Draft:

I have changed the colour of the pugs as I think this makes the magazine look
more R and B. I have chosen a dark purple colour - the one I mentioned in in my
'areas to consider when planning' spider diagram.

Second Draft:

I have changed the image to a more serious image as I think this looks better
and reflects the artist more. I have also changed the background from the
graffiti to a plain grey background as the graffiti background distracted the
audience from the artist. I ahve also added a pug as I think the front cover
looked quite empty and needed more to atract the audience. I have also got rid
of the spaces between the letters in the title as I think this looks better.
Having looked at this draft, I think this image is not as good as the first one
- it makes the artist look like she is very young therefor I am going to change
it back to the image on my first draft.

First Draft:

This is the first draft of my front cover, I like the title and artists names
accross the top, however, having reflected on the image and thought about it
compared with my real media artifacts, I think the background of the image is
too much for the front cover. It distracts the audience from the text and image
of the artist. I also think the artist is smiling too much for the impression I
am trying to create of her.
