I think that I got down most of the key conventions to the High Cut magazines. The font was similar but not 100% the same and the overall layout of the magazine seemed to match. I think that one problem with this magazine is that the background on the main image is too dark so if I lightened the background a bit it would have made it seem closer to the references.

The layout of the title, sub headings and image. The placements of the following match to a certain extent. The colour scheme was close because of the black and white aspect to it and the different shades of blacks and greys for the writing matched. For example, the 'secrets of you celebrities' is written in a light shade of grey in the original magazine so I copied that into my own magazine to try and get the small details the same.

The actual size of the image and title and sub headings. The layout out was right but the size was different. The title was too wide and big compared to the original and the sub headings had the same problem. I needed to start the actual magazine lower and the picture ended the background to stretch out to the sides of the paper. This wasn't done making it seem much more impacted compared tot he original that filled the whole front.

Next time, I would attempt to change the font for the title to something that is the same as the actual magazine. Perhaps use the title as a picture put it on the magazine. The sub headings would be smaller and I would fit in 4 instead of 3. The font would be smaller which would make the magazines seem identical. Lastly, the image would have an extended background that went all the way to the edge of the magazine cover. The background of the image would also be lightened up a bit so that it follows other black and white covers from High Cut where the backgrounds are extremely light greys. Another thing I could do is to try and do it in colour like some of the other High Cut magazine covers.
