Print Draft

After completing my first sketch draft i realised that i wasn't happy with the final product and therefore changed and added some of the features. The masthead, selling line, logo and main image remained as it previously was, however i moved the barcode, price and date from the top, down to the bottom of the page. This way there is no chance of it drawing any attention away from the main focus, as it is not an important feature of the magazine and only there to give the reader information about what they're buying and can be easily noticed after the main splash features have been taken into consideration. However, i moved the website directly under the masthead, this way the reader is getting to know where they can find any extra information if needed, but because the font will be small, it takes away any distraction the text may have cause.

I also moved the main cover line front across the top of the image across to the top left hand side of the image. This way, despite being further up, the cover line is still noticed first as it is above and more large than any following cover lines. The main image has also been streched so it covers the whole width of the magazine, other than having a plain white border around it. This way the image is more noticed as it is larger and therefore more likely to catch the readers attention.

A slogan has also been added, 'the fun starts here', which will be placed below the masthead as though it is a follow on from the magazine name and indicating that at Wyke College and throughout the magazine is where the fun will start.
