The document describes the process of drafting and revising a front cover design over several iterations. Key changes included modifying the color scheme, moving design elements around, adding and changing images, and filling empty spaces. The final draft was selected because it had the best visual appeal with the intended color scheme, included relevant images, lacked dead space, and followed conventions of magazine design.

1. These are my first and second drafts of my front cover.
I decided that I was going to use red, black and white as it fitted in with my main colour scheme.
However, after looking at my front cover I decided that I was going to change to the same colours
as the front cover so that it isn’t different. After looking at my first draft and looking at the
feedback I was given I decided that I would move the boxes around and then add the headline
and sub headline under the contents. On my third draft I am going to change the colours and
start from fresh by deleting all that is on the page.

2. These are my third and fourth drafts of my front cover.
After looking at my last drafts I decided that I would have a complete change around and start
from fresh. I think that now I have changed the colours and added more boxes for content that it
looks a lot better and that the final project will look a lot better than what I originally had
planned. In my next drafts I will add my other content and add an image so that it doesn’t have
any dead space.

3. These are my fifth and sixth drafts of my front cover.
After looking at my last drafts I decided that I would place images in the black area, I also said
that I would add more content. I have done this but think that it still needs more contents adding
to the bar underneath the content and space for images. On the sixth draft I decided to try and
make the bottom bar bigger. I think that this doesn’t really work and will be looking to add other
content in the bar. I will also be looking to change some of the images around.

4. These are my seventh and eighth drafts of my front cover.
After looking at my last drafts I decided that I read the bar underneath the images and content. I have done this and
separated the sections. On the sixth draft I have added some text but I decided that I needed to place more text to
fill out the space. I also added more images and in a layout that is close to the layout I chose on the layout design
slide that I placed on the blog. I think that the way these images are laid out is probably the best way to place them
so I have decided to keep them like that. In the eighth draft I added more text into the box under the images and
content. I am happy with how it looks and decided to do no more drafts.

5. FINAL PRODUCT
This is my final product. I have decided to use
this as it is the most attractive on the eye. I also
decided to use this as it fits in with the colour
scheme as it uses the purple, black, white and
yellow. The yellow and black used fits in well
with the name “Underground Riots” as these
colours as used when there is danger and riots
are dangerous. Another reason why I chose this
product is that the images link to the main
headline as it has all the artists in instead of
just the one. Furthermore, there is no dead
space whereas the other drafts either had
dead space or didn’t fit in with the colour
scheme. The final reason to why I chose this
product is because it has the conventions due
to the cramped page with many different
stories, images and the way that the page is
structured.
