This was the beginning of my first draft prior to the mock up. As the picture didn't fit the A4 page, I wasn't sure whether or not the picture would be appropriate as I would have had to stretch it out and so the quality of the photo was decrease. I kept the font the same but got rid of the ellipsis as it made the idea of the magazine seem questioning rather than a statement.
This is the second draft of my magazine cover, which shows the adaptation of not having a full-size photo - instead of stretching it and making the whole thing look unprofessional, I put a navy bar down the side with the name of the magazine on top of it. Then, I added the headings and summaries of the feature articles, but found that the colours clashed with the background. This made it difficult to read them at all, which would be off-putting to my target audience. On top of this, all of the subtitles looked messy and unorganised, so I decided to not use the picture at all.
I chose the picture for my next draft and found that the colours of the background were roughly the same, so that got rid of the issue of not being able to read the headings clearly. Then, I swapped the colours of the titles round so instead of it being dark on the inside, it's dark on the outside. This makes it stand out against the bright sky and generally makes the entire article look more professional. But, there was a random heading - the Time and Stress Management tips - which stood out and made the page look messy, as well as the two headings on the bottom left corner weren't in line.
