1st Draft of Front Page and Self Assesment

This is my first draft of my Front cover for my magazine. Some things that I thought went well is the framing of the shot as I believe that it presents the model well and is well suited to the hip hop genre as the model looks menacing and edgy. I used a variety of shots with different angles and distances and I decided on this one because the close up presents how a hip hop artist would be very aggressive and fierce.

5 targets that I would follow for my second draft would be

• make sure that the text works well together
• more emphasis on the jewellery
• more information about the contents of the magazine
• don’t change the colour of the cover star and keep them as they are originally
• change where the main cover line is as it is competing with the masthead.
