Magazine covers and contents page flat plans

First cover

Second cover




These are the two flat plan cover disign that I draw out. The target that I exspect for this magazine:
Age: 16-30
Gender: Both gender
Socio-economic classifications: B C1 C2, Individualists psycographics.

I have been asking people opinion in which of these two music magazine covers that they would buy. Three fifth of them chose
the first cover. They give their reasons that the font of the magazine is clearer and more easy to read compare to the second cover. Even thoug it looks like rock stlye font, but it's seem untidy when looking as a whole with other main sells on the front page.

With this imformations it help me come up with my final cover. which I think it will cover my target audience. The position of the main flash image, I decided to use two people in position where one stand close to the cemara and another person stand far back. With this position they will cover much of ther page. I get this idea from Karrang! magazine which I think it will invite the audience attention first other than the main flash's title.

Final cover

Contents page 1 Content page 2

For contents page I redu it and change the stly into the second contents page. First reason that I change it because It has too many images without any details about those main sells that will tell anything to the reader. Second, because it's less details about the topic makes the page have more free space in which will reduce the reader's interest, makes it look more like another page cover, and because the topics are every where that none of it draw the forcus of the reader.

So for the second contents page I catagorise the topic follow the idea that I saw in some magazine. Also, type some details about individual topics that I think when the reader read, it will give them more details about the topics. By put it into a catagories make it easier for reader to forcus at one point, and it look more nice and clear.
