This is my fourth attempt at the magazine cover, this one is definitely my favourite. Taking the idea from the last cover draft, I have used the mustard yellow and dark red colours. This makes the colours contrast more, making it more eye popping, and it also makes the audience notice the magazine easily. Not to mention I have put a white outline around the masthead, which makes it stand out more against the image and the background. I have also used the same font as the first draft, including the 'anarchy' symbol which replaces the A in the font. I am very fond of this idea, not to mention it makes the masthead more fun and also memorable.

Feedback: Absolutely love this cover! A few things that could be improved are a pull quote could be used, and also a small heading. Other than that, the colour scheme is nice, and also the other main features seem to be there on the cover. Nice attempt!

Response: On the final cover, I'll make sure to add a pull quote. In fact, other drafts more pull quotes and small headings will be added. Seen as more drafts are definitely going to be made, this meaning that I will have more variety, allowing me to pick and choose pieces from each draft to combine them into the final front cover.

Feedback: Try adding a bit more colour, instead of just red and yellow. Although these colours are a nice touch, just make the spectrum a bit more diverse. Other than that, make the headline more bold and interesting to look at. Try a different font?

Response: The font idea for the headline is a good one, definitely taking that into note. The use of different fonts is also a better idea, which I can experiment with when it comes to more drafts being made of the cover. The colour feedback is also very helpful, which I can also experiment with on more drafts which will also give me more diversity to choose from for the final front cover.
