For my front cover I made the background photo cover the entire page so that it attracted attention and there wasn’t any white space. The photo I chose however has the person looking off to the side so it could have been a better portrait shot. I did the writing in yellow so it would stand out against the background. I placed the cover stories round the side of the page so they didn’t block out the background photo, also I tried to make the cover stories sound believable and would be something you would expect to find in a college magazine. I also gave quotes on the page and a price in the corner to give it a professional look. The masthead I did in big yellow block capitals to draw attention straight to it, I also made it look more interesting by making the ‘the’ bigger than the rest of the title. If I did this cover again I would put a barcode on it to make it look more professional and realistic and I would get more of a portrait shot for the photo.
