When producing a magazine cover there are many different elements that you have to consider. These elements include colour, font, language, image and using the conventional design features of a magazine. All of the connotations listed are things I have had to think about when creating my cover. Over the past few days I have been designing a magazine cover that aims to align with my target audience so that if it was to go on sale, it would maximize profits. This is my first of a few drafts and below I have assessed my work so that when I come to create another, it creates even more interest and desire for my target market.

Draft one

Self Assessment

Targets for my next draft

. Experiment further on InDesign so that my magazine is technically better.

. Add more text so that it draws the reader in further.

. When cutting my model out using Photoshop, make sure there are no mistakes.

. Add more conventional design features of a magazine.

. Consider different fonts that may fit better with the genre of my magazine.

Moving forward this will be extremely helpful because it will allow me to focus on what I need to improve on to make the best cover possible.
