Update : front cover improvements based on feedback

 

These were some draft layouts I tested out before I singled it down between the two below 

From further feedback from my target audience, the  puff's text was too small and too detailed, therefore I shortened it and make it seem more accurate. I had to move the Atypical logo off the O in VOICE and onto the puff, because they said it made it seem like the name of the magazine was Atypical Voice. 

I gave my target audience these 2 options to pick from and they chose the one on the right but to make 'Celebrating Positive Mental Health' bigger 

Therefore, based on all the feedback I received, this is what I've constructed. I made the heading larger, and I made the puff, "A Better Tomorrow" and the highlighted text from the quote lighter colours so they are easier to read and changed the £3.90 and date and journalists' names at the top lighter too so the colour palette is more cohesive.
