Cover 1st Draft

Here is my 1st draft of the cover:

On my cover i have used the conventions which i chose in my research. I decided to make it a free magazine so i did not need to include a barcode, making it seem more artistic.
Although in the article about free magazines it says they can be like posters, i wanted my free magazine to look like a paid one so when people see it they will think that its a good deal that they are getting it for free.
I created a colour scheme and style on the cover, this was to make it seem professional and it targets my audience as i found that a lot of my audience are males.
