Front Cover Progress #1

Despite the survey results saying that I should avoid sell lines, I experimented with it nonetheless. I also added the anchorage text. 

This is an unfinished attempt, mainly because I did not like the font for the sell lines at all. 

I incorporated the color gradient for the masthead like mock-up #4. I also changed up the font for the sell lines, making it look tidier and more professional.

This is my best attempt at weaving sell lines and the anchorage text as well as a puff into the front cover. I think this does look better, however I don't like the way the puff and the clutter makes the magazine look cheaper than it should.
