Changes from my Front Cover Plan

On my original plan, the front cover did not feature any other images advertising the content of my magazine.  However, I have now decided to feature an image of the ice skaters below the puff that hints to an ice skating article in my magazine.  I feel like this change has made my front cover look less 'amateurish' but also giving the reader an incite to the magazine.

Another element I have changed from the plan is for the, 'Winter wonderland' font to be in the soft, 'icey' blue rather than red. This would be a similar colour to the original magazine logo, if it were not a winter edition.  The reason for this change are; familiarise the regular consumers to the brand identity considering the titling has changed and the connotations of the icey blue convey an image of a winter wonderland more than red.
