3. Front Cover
Similar to the
professional magazine
the masthead is located
at the top with the full
width of the page. This
makes it easily visible
and because of the style
of the masthead it
makes it recognisable to
the audience.
The cover story is in the
middle of the page with
the first letter being big
and blue so it stands
out. This helps with
keeping the style of my
magazine throughout but
it also makes it
noticeable from a
distance.
The cover lines are
around the bottom of the
page with a faded black
background and blue
and white text. This
keeps the layout
organised while making
the content readable and
visible.
Telling the reader there is a
competition inside. This would
motivate the reader to buy the
magazine because they could win
something that is worth more than
the price of the magazine.

Black and white instead of colour.
This allows for the image to be
noticed but removes any
distracting colours that may cause
the reader to get distracted by the

reader how much the
magazine is and allows
the shot to easily scan
the magazine.
