Over the course of our previous lessons, I created this draft. It's a slight alteration of my first draft that took slightly more inspiration from Under The Radar. I did not make a separate post because all that has changed is the placement of the text and two additional buylines. I no longer have the images saved from the magazines I worked from but this was all heavily inspired by Under The Radar.
It had some of the convention that my front page will have when it is finished. Our class, at the end of an assigned time period, went around the room with post-it notes leaving behind with instruction on what we can change to make the final product look better or fit the genre better. My draft was unfinished so I already knew there were things I'd have to change but this gave me some more ideas and things to consider.
I've already noted that I will need to add more sell points to my final product. I will do this with competitions, tagline, coverlines, and - potentially sub images.
I've chosen to make my masthead smaller this instance to mimic the style seen in my competitors magazine, Under The Radarr. This may change as I experiment with my masthead or it may not.
This is a valid suggestion that I will likely follow
I don't think that a plain background translates to a bland background and the entire cover will look less bland when it is full
I am not sure about sub images - if I use them I will only use a select few as that fits my target audience best
I haven't had a chance to implement the red colour scheme in the way I want to just yet. I'm still experimenting
I agree with this and will focus on my use of color in drafts to follow.
