Much like my first plan, I have placed my masthead in the same place to give it a heightened position. However I have put the dateline and price tag both above the masthead, since this keeps them away from the main articles of the front cover.
Another difference is the alternating placement of the cover lines, where each has a different position it gives the reader the impression that the magazine is busy and bursting with information.
As well as this I gave the primary figure in the image a more central framing, thus giving them attention and authority. I also thought it could give the magazine depth and allow the cover lines to stand out in the foreground.
Including another two images on top of the main photograph allows the reader to connect with the variation of visual appeal. In my opinion photos show the audience visual evidence of what they are reading about and so appear honest.
Unlike my decision to include some 'extra information' in a circular border in my first plan, I gave this one a more striking shape. The jagged lines and random points are comparable to a comic book speech bubble, often used for dramatic effect. I think that this sharp border would give the information inside urgency and catch the reader's attention.
