With this variation I used a completely different main image to experiment with how a main image can really impact the visual aspects of a front cover. I used the same headline as well as the strap lines from my previous designs. I did this to see the visual difference they'd have when next to a different image. I also added a banner at the bottom of the page - a feature I have not yet used. Upon reflection, I feel that the main headline takes up too much space which in turn leaves the front cover looking bland and dull.
In this variation, I included more strap lines as well as the QR code from previous mock ups. I also slightly changed the design of the headline whilst also reducing its size. I also included the QR code that was present in previous designs. Upon reflection, I feel that my headline doesn't have as much draw to it due to its positioning at the very bottom of the page.
In this variation I chose to have the masthead running vertically alongside the left hand side of the page. This, I feel, is a more suitable place for the masthead in regards to this image. However, upon reflection, I feel that the image I've used in these three mock ups isn't suitable to be my main image. This is due to its awkward positioning on the very right hand side of the page. This in turn limits the amount of space I have to experiment with various conventions such as strap lines and main headlines. However, I do feel that this image would be better suited for a contents page due to the page numbers generally running alongside the left hand side of the page - in which this image would allow. I will know doubt experiment with this image when constructing my contents page.
