Draft 1With this design that I have created for my magazine, I thought that this draft was the best with the use of elements I used on my magazine from cover. With this draft of the magazine I wanted it to look like a professional magazine cover. So with this I was trying to follow the conventions of a professional magazine in the way in which they layout their magazines. With this magazine I decided to use Photoshop CS5 to create this magazine and with this software I thought it would be the best and most effective in presenting the magazine to the target audience. The tools I used were:-ShapeFree transformImport Text boxThe elements I thought were effective on my magazine front cover were the use of the bold different colour on the page helped the different pieces of information stand out to the target audience and would draw them to the magazine and would persuade the target audience to want to purchase the magazine about the trailer Opposite Roles. Another element that I thought worked well was the use of the images on the front cover with these images I found that these would draw the target audience to them and would persuade the target audience to want to read the story relating to the images used on the front cover of my magazine. The only improvement that I would make to this draft even thought I am using it as my official magazine front cover would be to change the background to make it stand out more to the target audience and would draw the target audience to the magazine.

Draft 2

With this draft of my magazine front cover, my thoughts for this draft was that I was trying to create a magazine front cover without using the conventions of a magazine. I thought of doing this to make my magazine front cover look different and make it stand out to the target audience as this would draw them to the magazine. For this draft of my magazine I kind of used the same element to make this magazine but I just re-arranged the magazine to make it look different and to see whether it would look better which this other idea I had. The elements I used to make this magazine were:-ShapeImport Textbox For this magazine draft also I used Photoshop CS5 to create this magazine from cover as it was the easiest software to use and to create the elements I wanted on this draft of my magazine front cover. With this front cover I thought it would be a good idea to put the title on a slant at the top of the page as with this it would look cool and would draw the target audience to the magazine, with the use of the different coloured headings and the shape this was also a good technique to use as with these element that made certain pieces of information stand out to the target audience. The improvements I would make to this draft of my magazine would have been to added more content to the magazine as it looks a little bare in places and doesn't look like a professional magazine.

Draft 3With this draft of my magazine I wanted this draft to be presentable to the target audience and with this front cover I wanted to use different elements such as picture and shapes to draw the target audience to this magazine. With this draft of the magazine I found that this was the easiest draft to create and I found that this draft was quite effective in appealing to the target audience. The different t tools I used to make this magazine front cover were:-TextboxShape Import Image With these tools I used them on the software Photoshop CS5, I used this software to create this draft of the magazine as it is the easiest software to use and I found that I was able to create the elements I wanted on my magazine on this software. With this draft I kind of looks the same as my first draft of the magazine I decided that I was going to place the title and the image across the top and I thought that by placing to images to the left of the page and placing heading in box (shapes) would help the information stand out to the target audience and with this it would make my magazine effective. The improvement I would have made to this draft of my magazine would be to have placed more content on there such as by the shape there is space by it which doesn't look good.
