For DGmag's 10th anniversary, it was vital that I managed to get the cover and design of the comic, to match in unison with each other. This can be seen with The Beano's 2016 design onwards, the cover perfectly matches the design of the inside of The Beano. Therefore, The DGmag needs to be consistent with it's overall design and layout.
But finding that perfect cover design was a tad tricky. I wanted an idea of the new circle logo being kept in the left hand corner thus allowing the overall cover image to wrap itself around the rest of the remaining area. This was an idea I liked from the new Doctor Who Magazine cover which perfectly allows the new diamond 2023 logo to breathe without getting in the way of the rest of the cover. Therefore, DGmag would need to do something similar as the primary version on the cover is indeed, the circle stacked logo.
Shown above, we have the cover mock-up image, which was tweaked for the final version. Here, Candi's arms looked a bit odd as well as Jone the Bouncy Ball being present on the cover (now Jon again). I also went with using the updated Dom and Ginger design in the final cover as they have indeed, had a style update since last year's editions. Aside from that, not much else has been amended apart from the colour going to a more darker shade of blue..
Below, are the reject covers that never made it to the final version. You will notice that not much was changed in terms of the overall composition of the cover.
