Preliminary Task - Magazine Cover Ideas

This layout shows the masthead split in two along the top left and the bottom right. This makes the magazine different however it does not look great as people may get confused by the title of the magazine. I think the masthead should be together. The image is a midshot which is classic for front covers which is the same for the other two designs as this is a definate feature I will be including in my preliminary task magazine front cover. The cover lines and images are spread around the top of the page to attract the attention of customers and there is also a barcode so it can be scanned.



This design has the masthead at the top which is unconventional to make it stand out. The cover storys are down the right hand side of the page along with the main cover story. The main image dominates the page and the barcode is in the top left hand corner.



This magazine again has the main image dominating the page but this time it is more conventional, the masthead is placed at the top of the page and the majority of cover lines are on the left. The barcode is in the bottom left corner also.
