Draft 1
Here is my first draft, i used an urban style image to relate to the RnB theme, I also used a Spash large to relate to the heading.
Draft 2
Here is my second draft, i have added some more conventions such as more headlines and a barcode. I have also made the splash stand out more and changed the font and colour.
Draft 3
On this draft i have removed the masthead from down the side of the page as this balanced the cover better and made it easier on the eye. Also it was more conventional.
Draft 4
On this draft i added another headline to go onto the cover so that it filled the blank space on the left hand side. I also made the splash larger so that it stood out more.
Final Draft
On my final draft i made the border of the page black as it made it look more profetional. I also removed the page number from under the splash to make it more conventional.
