Final draft

           This is my final draft of my music magazine. I have used the house style that I planned to use in order to link my final draft to my planning. I will be reconsidering the layout in the final design of my front cover. I think that this will allow me to be more space efficient and allow my magazine cover to look better and more professional, I will include changes such as making the plug look more like part of the magazine i.e making the background grey instead of black in order to make it stand out a little bit less and make it look like it is part of the magazine. I will use a different photo of a different person in the bottom left corner to provide more variety on the cover in order to entice people further. I placed the masthead slightly behind the models head because it attracts more attention to the model and also looks more professional because in my research I found that many magazines similar to my own also shared this particular convention so I decided that this would be the best thing to do.
           I used a footer to further entice people to my magazine as well. I also overlapped the larger font saying 'Plus:' with the photo of the model in the bottom left corner. I used the black background for the footer to emphasise the red font colour that I used to show the extras included in the magazine. I used the same font for everything on the cover apart from the masthead and the main headline. I did this because it creates a sense of continuity in the cover and it makes it again, look more professional. In my research I found that lots of other similar magazines to my own used the same theory and used the same font on the majority of the front cover. The main colours that I have used are unisex which allows my magazine to appeal to both genders therefore expanding my target audience.
