Rejected flat plans- main task.

These are cover designs which I have decided not to use. I have used the same main flash and main sells for all of them because they are things I definitely want.

I do like the angle and typography for the masthead of this design however I decided not to choose it because it looks less like a rock magazine and more like a pop one.

I also like the image on the cover of all the band members however the pictures may be too small and as it is only one of them I'm interviewing, I feel it should be that band member on the cover. The angle of the main flash and subhead may appeal more to a younger audience, I want people with a bit of class to read it too so I'd prefer it to be neater and clearer by being straight.

The design I've chosen has strap lines - this doesn't but instead has a rectangle box at the bottom which says what the strap line on my chosen design says. I prefer the strap lines - it uses less room than the box.

This is another design I have not chosen. It is like the one I have chosen but without the strap lines and some of the main sells and bar code are in different places. I do like the strap lines so that is one main reason I chose the other design.

The masthead is in serif typography and it is also quite thin. I like the bold and chunky look of the san-serif font on my chosen design because it stands out more than this one.

The image on this design is straight, I like it but I like the edgy look of it being slightly slanted.
