21/11/25 - Front Cover Updates

 Following feedback from my teachers after my first draft that my first cover isn't striking enough, I began to play around with some new image options and colour schemes for my first front cover.




Here are some of the options.

I also began to adjust my seconds contents page, following feedback that it doesn't quite look high end or Condé Nast.


It is still not where I want it to be, but it is a significant improvement from before.

Feedback from 1st Draft

 Feedback from my first draft showed me that my first edition’s cover photo wasn’t striking enough, and didn’t catch the audiences attention.

From this, I began to look through some other photo options:






Next, I will place them into Photoshop, edit them and overlay my masthead and cover lines to see which photo works the best for the covers.

20/10/25 - Development of Contents Page 1

 

Today, I developed my first contents page by finalising the specific layout I wanted. I decided that cutting out my model from the background made the image more striking and stand out better against the red. I also began to write the contents onto the page, inspired by content page examples from Elle, Vogue and Vanity Fair. Next to the cutout of the model, I created a “Seth Chadwick wears” section, with the information about the items of clothing my model is wearing, the brand of each item and the prices. I chose designer versions for all of the clothes, to replicate the high end fashion of Condé Nast magazines, such as Ralph Lauren, DIOR, and Hermés.

Underneath my models arm, I also included a caption that says “See more at www.elitemagazine.com”, to encourage readers to visit the website and promote digital convergence.
