Structure of my First Draft

After looking through some of the photos that I had taken for my magazine front cover, I realised that I wanted my back ground to be dark toned and real to reflect the overall mood that I am trying to create.

The brick- effect that has been used makes the magazine appear more realistic and has a greater effect than a plain background.

As you can see I have used the same affect with my front cover. I have done this because I feel that using an actual backround is more effective in making the magazine realistic and therefore more approachable for the audience.
