For my final front cover, I did not make very many changes to my draft at all. I really liked my draft except for the fact that the text was too close to the edges of the page. Because of this I made the decision to move all of the text slightly inwards and rearrange the text so that it all fitted around the page properly and looked proportionate. The image of the female athlete on this page applies to Laura Mulvey's 1975 theory of 'The male gaze' this theory says that women are objectified on front covers of magazines wearing little clothing in order to see the again to men. However you could argue that my magazine is not doing this as it is not selling cars or others things males are interested in, I am advertising sport and the outfit my athlete is wearing is a typical outfit for female track runners. Overall I am really happy with the outcome of this page and there isn't anything I would change about it. I really enjoyed creating the blurred effect of the background and I think I will use this technique again when creating another project.
