Front cover

This is the picture i had taken for my final magazine piece.

I decided that i just wanted a simple picture and so that when I added all the effects it wouldnt look too crowded.

This is my final magazine front cover.

I decided to go for an origianl theme of having the masthead at the top centre making it big and bold so that that would be the first thing to catch the audiences attention.

As my picture is the background for my magazine it was very hard to place my cover lines all in one place without covering key parts of the picture so i decided to put them around the main parts of the picture which was still very effective.

I tried to make my magazine look as real as possible by adding a bar code in the bottom right-hand corner,this was a problem because originally I had put the dateline there and the bar code would look odd anywhere else so I had to make a space for the dateline to go as well as still making it look good.
