Initial Reggae Magazine

This was my first design for the front cover of my Reggae Magazine. The model is the main focus of the magazine however, the audience will get distracted by the amount of text surrounding the model due to the fact that cover lines are compositioned on both sides of the model. In addition to this, a quote that would be in a large size would distract the audience from the model, including the plugs beneath in. This why I have not chosen to use this design for my final idea of my Reggae magazine, due to the amount of text which surrounds the main image.

The content page contains a lot of text including two separate subheadings with relevant texts, and a quote. Also, half of the models face is shown in the contents page overall causing the audience to find it difficult on focusing on the content page since the entire page is filled with text and has less images to go along with the text.

The Double Page Spread only contains images which are surrounding the headline that is compositioned in the centre of the page. The only text that is in the page, is a small subheading which would have a small amount of relevant text. In addition to this, my problem with this Double Page Spread is that it would be difficult for me to write any relevant text since this page would contain a range of different images which links to Reggae such as the Fashion, and Reggae Artists hence the reason for why I have not chosen this Double Page Spread as my final design.
