This is the third draft of my front cover. I believe that this is not an effective magazine cover because it lacks enough substance and codes to attract any audience. This is because of the amount of empty space that makes the image look unfinished. However the use of many conventions makes the text of the image look professional as it suits the genre of music and the preferences of the key demographic. For example the sky line at the top and the similar style at the bottom suit the cover well and have connotations of being passionate about music and being fresh and up to date with the music industry. And the use of the bar-code, date and issue info make it seem professional and more realistic but this is let down by the lack of substance in the image. The picture that is showing cloudy dolls looks like it has just fallen onto the page and has been left there as it landed and has no purpose for being there, this makes it seem out of place and doesn't really suit the rest of the cover.
