Front cover drafts

This was my first rough draft of my front cover, with my mast head and the date. The image doesn't look very good so that's why i decided not to use this one. I still want the colour scheme to stay the same but it doesn't really look right with this image.





This is the second draft. Ive changed the image to see if this would work. And it does in many ways; with the ' Wills t-shirt ', it all fits in with the colour scheme. Also i think the image is good, but it doesn't really seem fun and exciting.
But i decided that this image isn't suitable because the mast head goes across his head and it doesn't look very good. I should have taken the picture with a bit more background above his head. He is the main image and the main thing that people look at when they look at the front cover so nothing should be covering his head area. Its okay to cover bits of his arms or the some of his t-shirt with the cover lines; but not to cover the 'Wills' because that's the important bit.




This is the third draft. I have decided on having this image because i thought it looked natural and it fits well with everything. I changed where the ' magazine ' was to being under the title of the magazine as i think it looks so much better rather than being on the top. I don't really like the font that it is written in either. The cover lines are in different fonts because i was playing around with them, to find the right size/colour/font. To see which looked better and most attractive.
