Before I went straight into taking photos and designing a front cover,I sketched what I was planning to do. This is due to the fact that I wanted to experiment with different ideas and be able to edit or change certain aspects. Additionally, it helped me think about what types of shots I wanted for my main image on my cover. I then went away and took different images that corresponded with some of the drafts I had made up. Furthermore, it helped me greatly as I could look at other magazines and take aspects of their covers that I liked and feature them on my ideas.
I later then created digital mock ups on the computer using the photos I had taken. I tried to replicate some of the ideas I had drawn, but I came to the conclusion that the ideas sounded good in theory, but did not look good in practice. As a result, I adapted and changed my cover many times to get it to my final product. I didn't end up using any covers below, but I took some of the different features of them and applied them in different ways.
