Second Drafts of Front Cover

The changes I've done to create a second draft included masthead, cover-lines, name of artist and bar code.

Masthead

For the masthead, I changed the colour and filled the text box with colour. This makes the magazine title easier to read and eye-catching. It also makes it look more like an icon and easy for the reader to familiarize with it. Additionally, it complements the tone and colour of the magazine.

Cover Lines

For the cover lines, I changed the alignment on the sepia magazine to centre. This challenges the conventions of magazine covers, making it different and interesting. It's also more eye-catching. However, I kept it the same as on the black and white magazine, because I felt that it complemented the image a lot more. Moreover, I changed the font of 'Amy Jackson' on the sepia cover, as I feel it complements the mood of the page and brings an interesting touch. It's also, again, unconventional, but in a way that I feel works.

Bar Code

I added a bar code because, of course, all magazine covers need it. I also added a website it and price to it. This is a major convention for the magazine cover, meaning it was very important I had it on my cover.
