This first plan is very tidy but dull. I like the font used for the 'Miss A' as it's bold and has an attitude to it. However the masthead looks out of place and bland. This may put the readers off as it doesn't fit in with the magazine, they may dislike it as it's boring and uninteresting.
I like the use of the Korean flag on the main masthead as well as the side bar.
On this second plan I have positioned the yellow side bar on the left closer to the masthead which makes it more appealing as well as the bar code as it follows the eye rule of the 'Z.' I have also put an outline on the 'Miss A' this makes gives an effect that it's more sharp and clean. I haven't changed anything else from the first image.
Here I chose to experiment with the colour scheme. I chose to have a side bar with red, blue and yellow on the left side. This will show creativity and it will show that I have followed the colour scheme I have chosen. The 'O' in B.O.A I turned it land scape to see if it looked nice and I have also added two dots in it. By doing this I have created a 'ying and yang' (Chinese symbol) effect which I think looks really good. However I think that the masthead looks boring as it's too plane and dull. I have also changed the 'Miss A' font to Brush Script MT. I think that this font looks very effective and elegant however this is not the effect I'm after.
This is a better layout in my personal opinion as the front cover looks more professional and put together. The colours used works well. I especially like the font I used for the masthead. I feel that it will grab readers more than the previous fonts I used. I have also enlarged and changed the font of the names of the artists which is now very visible. Without reading the cover lines you can already know who's featured in the magazine. I especially like use of the new font for the 'Miss A' it gives an effect of face pace life or the zooming of the car which may connote the fast rise in career of Miss A.
I first drew a front page plan by hand which I then edited and made some changes using the computer.
