TASK 9 - Construction- (Front Cover)

I decided not to use the original concept of getting my logo from CoolText, as I think that the logo looked like a cartoon, and therefore childish. This would automatically reduce the age range of the readers that my magazine receives. I have started experimenting with the proximic aspect and design of my masthead and I have decided to place it in the left hand corner. This is because it is unique and would be a USP for my magazine. Also, I have started image manipulation and my models hair is quite long- so placing the masthead behind her would not aesthetically pleasing. 

This was the design of my magazine before I decided to change the layout of the masthead. I did not like how the masthead was set out as it went across her hair, and also because of the model's position. My masthead font and style also makes it hard to put it across the page. Therefore, I needed to decide on another layout and whilst experimenting, I came up with the above design.
