rejected front cover idea

 

I rejected this idea because even though I liked the minimalist vibe of it, it doesn't really look like a magazine instead it looks more like a poster. Due to with this one I wanted to go with in a minimalist direction I didn't want to add cover lines because I thought it would look cluttered, however cover lines are essential for a magazine as that is what engages the audience because usually the cover lines show what it is going to be inside of the magazine. Additionally, my masthead isn't very big therefore it isn't very eye catching for an audience which a masthead needs to be as that is what lets an audience know what the magazine is.
