In the draft, we used the 'plus' sign as we thought it stood out, and the boxes around the teasers as this also stood out. It also gives the cover a 'busy' feel, some think this is a good thing and others disagree. We used the red 'Total Film' masthead as red is a bold colour which is usually eye-catching, and incorporated the 'explosive 2011 preview' headline.
In the final, we decided to remove the 'plus' sign and boxes around the teasers because it made the cover look quite girly. The main image draft emphasised on this. So, when changing the main image, we changed other things. We kept most of the text red and white, and tried to use as less black as possible. The final cover looks much better, realistic and sophisticated.
