Second Front Cover and Contents Page

I developed from my original attempt at a front cover by seeking both the negatives and the positives of it so that that I could move forward and improve it. I realised that my first attempt lacked all appeal, it was bland and dreary and had nothing to attract an audience such as; puffs or tag lines.

On retrospect, this attempt also lacks conventions such as puffs and tag lines however the change of layout dramatically affected how the cover looked, by removing the vertical red bar which served no purpose, making the top bar one continous white bar and playing the cover feature in a better way making it stand out. The contents page continues the house theme of black and red, and contains common conventions such as; an editors note, stories/features, page numbers and sections. Feedback from peers suggested that it was easily understood and easy to find things, both important positives for a contents page.
