Preliminary Project - Draft 2

This is the second draft of my magazine cover. This version shows a student looking through her notes while sitting outside in an unknown location, but would be assumed as her school. This would appeal to my target audience as she's roughly the age of the target audience, which they might find comforting. She's also at the same stage of her education, so they might feel like they can relate to her.

I prefer this cover to Draft 1 as the headings are more organised, despite the Time Management and Stress Management tips, which I will move to a better place on the page. The colours are more neutral and so it was generally a lot easier to use colours which wouldn't make the readers struggle to read it. Along with this, the contrasting colours of the text against the background, but the similar colours of her clothing make the cover look slightly more professional than Draft 1.

Things which I could improve on would be the management tips heading, as it looks out of place with the rest of the headings. As well as this, the subtitles on the bottom left hand side aren't in line and look disorganised and untidy, unlike the subtitles on the top right hand side.
