The front cover of an existing magazine that i intend to base mine off of.

1. On this cover I liked the placement
of the sell lines, mast head and the
use of a skyline to display the puff. I
also like the way the dominant
image is using direct mode of
address and overlaps the masthead
slightly. The barcode placement also
seems sensible and realistic to me.
However I feel like the pull quote
looks slightly too busy so while I
intend to use the general placement
I will change the amount of
information in that section.
