Front cover 

The feed back i received from my second draft was used to create my final draft. from the feed back i found that students would rather see an image of another student as the background as it is more relatable and interesting then the buildings around Wyke. I also changed the colour scheme to suit the colours of the background image and removed the headline box to get a full view of the image. I also changed font according the the headline topic to give it another angle of diversity making the magazine more interesting and appealing. As well as this i used well known song lyrics in my headline as a pun and  to add interest and draw readers in. i also changed the headline 'Money, money,money!' from a white font to a green font to make it stand out better and also because the colour green is associated with money.

Draft 2

The feedback that i received was that the background image was not as visible as it could have been, and that the bright font some what drew attention away from the image. I was also told that the font was not as legible ad it could be in red and the red and green colour scheme did not go. For my second draft i used the same layout as the first but i changed both the font from Ariel and the colour scheme to yellow, blue and white. I also changed the background and added a thumbnail image by the headlines to add interest and to give and indication of what the headline was about. 

Draft one

This is my first digital draft done on photoshop of my magazine. i used the images that i took as a background and then edited the colour levels. This draft is a rough idea on how my magazine will be set out following the conventions of a front cover. The title is clearly visible and in the top left hand corner following media conventions. I wanted the background image to be the main feature and also for the front cover to look organised and un-cluttered. i decided to use a limited pallet of colours on the cover to avoid it looking tacky and messy. I chose to do the skyline in a bright yellow/green to it would stand out and attract attention. I added articles that where collage related and therefore can be relate to everyone, as everyone who buys is is a Wyke student. i also added a voting article as it directly effects the students therefore they can get involved.
