8. 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.

9. 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.
