Rachel, this is an excellent cover! The cover star photo works really well, from the positioning on the page (esp. the use of the goggles / sky as space for the name of the magazine) to the expression on her face which is playful and sets the tone for the mag. The cover lines are well chosen and the use of blocks of colour as callouts works effectively. The offer of sixth form social tickets and the placement of the other cover elements (barcode, logo, price) are all authentic as well. The contents page is simple and effective, with the text's lexis and structure clearly drawn from the genre of magazine contents pages. A very effective second draft of your prelim and much as I would expect from a student of your caliber (and GCSE point score!)
