Below are my two drafts for my magazine front covers. After researching magazines i found that magazines conventionally follow the route of the eye. This means that the masthead will be at the top, followed by a main image which is followed by a cover line. The image will pass through the hotspots of the magazine, which will make the image have the most attention drawn to it. At the bottom of the page are the last attempts to capture the audience's attention. This area is known as the terminal optical area. Using this information, i have applied it to my drafts. I have made my covers look fun and clear to read to the audience as this is important to make the target audience want to purchase my magazine. I have also made it appealing to the audience by showing that there are compititions, comics, puzzles and free gifts within the magazine. Again this will make the audience take into account what the content of the magazine is. My drafts are quite ordered because this will appeal to the older side of my target audience, yet the off centre coverlines will make it look more cluttered to make it appealing to the younger target audience.
