Hand Drawn Drafts

I have done some hand drawn drafts for my magazine cover. This depicts the layout of the magazine, as well as the position of the cover model.


From this design, the institution logo was removed, the free CD was moved, and the "Sweet Music" Main Headline was moved to the right side from the left. The name was also shortened, from "The Bandstand" to "Bandstand". The cover model's posture was also changed, this time holding a Trumpet as a prop on the image.


From the 2nd design, more changes have occurred. The institution logo has been put back, as it is conventional of the magazines I have looked at. the free CD has been moved to a more conventional place, as well as freeing up more room for the main headline, which is now on the left. The sell lines were shifted to fit with the new design while still standing out. The cover model's position, stance and action have also been changed, and this time she is holding a Trombone as opposed to a trumpet.


Throughout all the designs, the only elements that have been kept in the same location are the bar-code and the date/price/issue text. The name of the magazine will be Bandstand, as it is shorter, mor attention grabbing, and allows more space for other things on the cover.

  1. This looks nice but I suggest that you make it using some illustration program for better view of the magazine cover and for more options.
