This is my second draft and I like it but I need to have another image to be more conventional.

Response to feedback
Looking at the peer feedback I have recieved I have noticed that I need to change my text alignment so that it does not overlap the image.
Something else that I have noticed is that I need to put more detail on my posts and describe what the post is and why I have featured certain things on my blog

Overall assessment of blog: Overall the blog has some good work throughout and is structured quite nicely. One thing I noticed is the font on some things are a bit small, but not too big of a problem as I didn't have to strain my eyes or install a camera's optical zoom function to read it.
Stengths of front cover: The image used is quite good and the model's costume links well with the name of the magazine. Also there is good use of conventions such as the plug.
Areas for improvement: Some text could do with some better alignment and the QR code doesen't need so much white around it. If it had any more white i could safely say it was a marshmallow. Also the background could look more solid and natural to make the magazine cover look more proffessional.

Your blog is ok. Maybe you could make some more moodboards/ just add extra things such as colour scheme ideas to make your blog have more posts. Your analysis of images is good as it shows the work you put in. To improve your front cover I would make the mast head bigger, pull the plug down and try align the "BW's next big band..." and "Jeff goes solo" with each other.
A good thing abotu your front cover is that you have sticked to teh 3 colour rule and used a skyline.

From your previous drafts it is clear that you have made significant progress towards your final draft. However there are some elements of improvments. For example; I would change the text size/layout so that it does not overlap the image. This would make your cover look more proffeshional.
I would also add more images on the cover so that it looks more realistic. (they don't have to be massive; just some little ones to support the headlines.) I am also not so clear over which headline is the main headline and this may be confusing for some readers.
Your magazine needs to be instantly recognisable for what genre it is however this is not so clear at first glance.
I like the use of the grey against the white as this adds major contrast. I alos like the main image that you have taken, and the fonts that you have used.
You have made so much great progress, but with a little more work this could look fab! :) well done!

Your blog is good as you have completed all the tasks however it could do to add some photos or videos to make your blog a bit more lively as it is mainly text. Also some of the videos you have put on explain why you like them or how you've taken any inspiration from them. Also just make sure you exaplain in detail everything you have put on your blog wether it be videos, photos or mood boards.
Your front cover is good, the medium close up image works really well and you have used the three color scheme which well, however it may be useful to use another colour rather than purple because it doesn't really work with the blue, maybe use a red as then it could represent the red, white and blue of the Great Brittish flag. Also maybe add some more photos to your front cover as many rock magazines tend to use alot of images on their covers rather than just one.
