This is the final draft for the cover of my college magazine. I have used all the objects I have previously blogged which were successful to create a cover relevant to my target audience of college students from 16 years old up to the early 20s.
There are some features I have incorporated which I have not mentioned or shown before. Below my masthead is a date and an issue number, I added a barcode on the bottom right corner and created a headline using light blue font and large text to make it stand out so that readers were able to see that it was linked to the cover image; I also kept the colours relevant to the main colours of the magazine to show it was a headline. All of the features I mentioned above were added to mimic existing magazines which included them. I wanted my magazine to be taken seriously as well as being relaxed which is why these features were put in.
A problem I had was time management which I will improve for my coursework. If I had more time or I managed my time better I would add more coverline text to fill up the blank spaces as well as alter the background colour of my main image which I explained in a previous post was unsuccessful due to the insufficient amount time I spent on it.
