In my final attempt it was decided that my Image used in the first two drafts was two similar to the image used for the front cover of the magazine, where I decided to remove the background the image didn't stand out to the reader, my new image of my model sitting on a bench with a black acoustic guitar in his hand overlaps the left hand page slightly, however to try and restrain the amount of colours on the background I decided to remove the top half of the background, this creates a good effect two the articel , The writing towards the far side of the left hand side of the article is in a white font with a black outline to make it stand out against the dark background image.
Both of these articles have information boxes featured on them, this appealed to me as I'm wanting to put an information box in my article. What I like about the bottom article is how the main image and the text overlap, which is another technique which I might like to use on my magazine article.
