First draft of Magazine front cover (Mr Fregan)

6th November 2013

The task set in todays lesson, was to create the first draft of my magazine front cover. To do this is researched some magazines, for example I searched through famous magazines such as "vogue" and "Elle" magazine. From researching through this I had an idea of how I wanted my magazine to look and where each part of the magazine will be laid out. The different aspects of the magazine that I included are listed:

• A banner - The front page headline which goes at the top of the page.
• Cover lines - Summary of the most exciting things that feature in the magazine.
• Exclusive - The story that is promoted by the audiences as only available in the newspaper or article.
• Kicker - This is a story designed to stand out from the rest of the page through the use of different font types.
• Splash - 
• Lure
• Cover Lines
• Headline
• Masthead
• Strap Line
• Banner
• Left Third
• Bar Code
• Picture
• Date/Time

From this, I was able to create my first draft of my magazine cover, I now have an idea of what I want my magazine to look like and where the key conventions will go on my magazine.

Here below is my first draft:
