Front Cover Drafts

My front cover drafts represent how a typical conventional front cover should look and what features they need to include. I firstly used Photoshop to complete one of my front cover drafts. I did this to show what tools i would possibly use and where i would place certain features on my front cover. I then completed the second front cover draft by sketching out a rough plan of where certain things should go and how they would have an impact on the entire layout of the front cover. These two drafts are typical representations of a music magazine; in terms of layout, alignment and space.
