Initial cover design 1

This idea was inspired by the Vibe cover of the 'sexy issue' one thing i specifically took from the inspired cover was the 'sexy issue' tag on the right hand corner, i used this inspiration and altered it to a No 1 mag rosette, this gives the cove a better image and makes it stand out from the others. One thing that i really like about this cover is that the cover star is addressing the audience and therefore drawing them in, this is why i used a similar sort of image for my cover star. The use of pull quotes helps give the reader an insight into what is in the magazine without giving too much away, and the idea of incorporating a competition such as 'win a trip to Bora Bora' gives the reader another incentive to buy the magazine. The colour scheme for this mag was also inspired by the same cover as Vibe as i feel like the pink and black and grey is aiming more towards the female genre and therefore keeping in with my overall theme for this cover that i am creating.
