This was my initial layout for my magazine and the design was what I had in my head, as you can see my masthead is 'Recess'. On this draft I  haven't actually put actual text in the sell line boxes or put any images in the subsidiary image boxes... Or even a Pug in the Pug box simply because this draft was purely used for layout of my magazine. From this I was able to imagine a basic outline as to what I wanted on the front cover of my school magazine which made the process of creating the magazine a lot easier for me.
Where as here, this was my second draft with the pugs filled in and the sell lines and subsidiary images all drawn in. I also changed my main image to have two people, whereas the first draft only had 1 person. I decided to change it to two people because to me it took up a lot more space and looked a lot better. I now also have two pugs instead of one to make the magazine more appealing to the eye and to make it seem as if there are more interesting things. I also now made a logo for my magazine which is the 'R' in 'Recess' to attempt to make it seem more appealing to the viewer reading the magazine. Some things that I didn't add that could increase the realism of the magazine are a price tag, or maybe even a barcode. I also could've made the logo a bit bigger and bolder so that it's easier to locate that it is 'Recess' that is the masthead and it is the 'R' that is the logo. Overall I think my second draft was an improvement on my first draft but I still think there is room for improvement.
