front page first draft and contents page

The DPS took longest to complete because I had to arrange all the text and make sure it all fitted on. Once I had done the DPS as well I also knew more in general on how to use photoshop which made the process a lot quicker. With my front page I tried to go for the less conventional look with my images by using a photo where there is no direct mode of address with the audience. I wanted this to create the effect that maybe she is hiding something, making the reader more persuaded to read the magazine. I tried to keep a brand identity flowing between all of my pages by using similar colours. With the contents page I think the colour is a little less similar to the front page and DPS but on my final piece I shall correct this. Overall though I am happy with these two pieces. I may include more photos on the front page to make it more interesting to the reader, but I am not completely sure so I may construct a quick survey to see who in my target audience agrees with this.
