This is the first draft of my front cover which I think is good but could definitely be improved.

I decided to choose the colour red in my masthead and captions because it matches the costume that I chose for my model. I then chose the blue because I think it complemented the red and white.

I used a mixture of two fonts because I wanted the masthead to stand out in a different way that I wanted the captions to. Although I did use two fonts, I think it works because the majority of magazines that I read have more than one fonts too and I decided to take inspiration from them.

I like the photo that I decided to chose because it is taken from a high angle and has a sense of seriousness to it.

To improve I could…

• Photoshop the image better because on my model’s shoulder there is a slight shadow which some may see as her looking dirty.
• Take a better image because they all contained a slight shadow on the wall which prevented me from cutting it out and adjusting the background.
• Make the layout a bit more professional looking because it doesn’t really look like a professional magazine at the moment.
