Balancing the colours on my front cover.

 After choosing my Mastheads colour and font i decided the red was a very bold colour and would look very odd being the only bright part on the image so i chose to balance out the colours with a small strip of red at the bottom of the page that i intend to write a cover story or competion in, and a small sign saying ‘free magazine’ to attract readers to the magazine.

Chosen mast head placed onto image.

At first i was unsure what style mast head i wanted to use for my magazine. I researched a few of my favourite magazines being ‘elle’ and ‘vogue’, both these magazines use very simple and smart mastheads that are thin and have serifs to show they are fashionable and classy mags. I decided i would use this style masthead to represent the smart style of the school.
