In this second draft of my magazine cover I have added cover stories to the sides of the page. I added one underneath the plug and two on the left hand side so that all the space was filled and it has a sense of symmetry. I also added a headline between the banner reading "EXCLUSIVE!" and the film title "Vengeance". I put a summery of the article "Behind the scenes of this Halloween's biggest horror hit" and a quote from the article underneath. This is very conventional as seen here in an example from "TOTAL FILM". Here they have put a quote above the film title followed by a summary underneath. I preferred to have the summary above the title as it looks better as it means that the title can take up a larger space at the bottom of the page making it stand out more. I have taken quite a lot of inspiration from this cover as you can see I have put my cover stories in the same places and used a similar overall layout. This is mostly due to the fact that this cover has a similar main image to mine which takes up the centre of the page, leaving room for cover stories around it. I liked the idea of having the main story going over the torso of the actor as it means that you can still see the face and outline of the body clearly but you don't have lots of empty space in the middle of the page where the writing could be.
In my next draft I will experiment more with the layout and add a wider range of fonts so that I have a more diverse cover.
