1) The author created two draft front covers for a magazine but accidentally did not save the first one. They believe the first draft was better than the second.
2) For the front cover, the author included silhouettes of famous musicians like Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson because of their iconic status. They aimed to make recognizable figures that would attract readers.
3) For the double page spread, the author again lost the first draft they did for an old magazine project. They reflect that the first draft for both the cover and spread would have looked more professional.
