Magazine Cover 1

This is the first attempt on my travel magazine. I like the masthead and the image that I used. I tried to put different effects on my masthead, however decided it looked cleaner and easier to read without. I also like the image I used for the background, it is different to the generic travel magazine cover photos and I feel this will make it stand out more than other magazines. I also think that the masthead makes the magazine stand out more than other magazines. I placed the text in one section on the cover as I didn’t want to attract too much attention away from the main image. I tried to make different parts of the text stand out by using different colours and sizes, the first block of text is larger than the other two and I used the same red as the title to make ‘best destinations’ stand out more. I then used smaller font sizes and darker shades of purple as it goes down the page. I don’t like the blocks of text as much as the masthead and background image so this is something I will improve on.

Magazine Cover 2

This is the second attempt on my travel magazine. I used the same masthead as my first attempt, this is because I like the way it looks, I tried it in different fonts and colours however, I feel it looks more striking. The background image uses the rule of thirds and I tried to keep that with where I placed my cover lines and masthead. I kept the masthead in the first third and then the cover lines in the other two thirds. I felt this made the magazine cover more aesthetically pleasing.I placed the cover lines in a more interesting way than on the first attempt also, they are more spread out and clean and clearer to read. I also highlighted ‘win’ as this would make people want to look at the magazine.
