As you can see by the first draft of the magazine cover, the yellowish-gold text colour is quite difficult to read and is quite bright. The red is also quite difficult to read and draws the attention away from the central image, something that is usually the main focal point of a magazine cover, due its brightness.
As you can see from the final version, the magazine looks professional and, by using the same text colours throughout, appears very linear. Compared to the first draft, it is a lot easier on the eyes and, by replacing the bright red 'Break Away' title with a more plain yellowish-gold, returns the audience's attention to the central image. Although unintentional, the fact that a portion of the characters face is considerably darker goes back to the idea that the main character is leading a double life, as if he has a darker and lighter side to his personality. This is also present in the poster, again unintentional.
