Introduction:

In this task, i am going to be creating and designing sketches for the style of my magazine, showing what i will like to include. 

Draft one - 
Magazine front cover
I have designed this magazine front cover with quick, rough text, to create my layout for my front cover. I have showed my draft to some of my peers in my class for feedback on how to improve. Majority of people suggested i make it clearer and cleaner, as it was quite busy and crammed.



This is the second draft for my magazine, where i have now included my actual headline, a strap line, and subtitles for what my magazine will include. This second draft has allowed me to get a better idea on what my front cover will actually look like.



conclusion:

I found this task useful because i will now be able to quickly create my front covers, and i can research on the topics i have chosen to focus on. Also, i now know which pictures i need to take for my cover.
