This was my second drawn draft for my magazine cover. I added a banner at the top of the page saying "Exclusive news, reviews and interviews!" to attract the audience with the contents of the magazine. I then added A masthead with a background to make the text stand out from the background. On the left side of the page i added two featured articles showing the audience some of the contents of the magazine, which will attract the target audience as the articles are aimed at them. The middle of the page is taken up with a main image with the name of the main article and a quote from it which makes the reader want to see the article. This main article quote is in front of the main image in bold to make it stand out and attract the audience to it, as this will be one of the selling points of the magazine. In the bottom right corner I added a puff with details of a competition included in the magazine, which also attracts the audience with a prize appropriate to the genre and attractive to the target demographic. In the bottom left corner I added 3 secondary images with quotes from the accompanying article from inside the magazine. This also gives the reader an indication of what is included in the magazine, and will attract the target audience. The bottom of the magazine is finished off with a footer, which includes the names of 2 more articles. Again, this helps the audience decide if the magazine is attractive to them or not, and will help the audience decide if it is targeted at them or not. I think that this draft is better than the first as the main article does not take up as much room on the page, leaving more room for other things such as quotes from featured articles or more secondary images.
