A cover that greatly inspired my own first front cover during the planning process:
A rough plan and a mock up which were created throughout the planning process of my first cover:
I aimed to create a consistent house style through my use of consistent black and white motifs, playing on the ideas of contrast and juxtaposition. I aimed to use a repeated 'frame within a frame' layout to highlight the subject of the focal image as well as provide additional room for extra conventions around the outside such as turns, prices and barcodes.
Some of the audience feedback I got on my first front cover:
- Reduce the border size to give the focal image more space
- add more coverlines at the bottom of the page to cut empty space and become more conventional
- add a circular turn graphic to become more conventional
- change the price of my magazine
Below is the shot list for my first cover:

Below is a rough sketch of my own first contents page:
Some of the audience feedback I got on my first contents page:
- change the large black border as it didnt suit the conventions of a normal contents page
- add more cover lines
- add an additional image of clothing
- add some form of digital convergence on the page to direct readers to the website
Below are my finished cover and contents page for my first issue:
