I chose to position
my models in the
bottom/mid left area
of the cover because
this would give the
cover lines a onecolour backdrop so
they could be read
clearly. It later
transpired that my
image was too small
so I had to resize it
and change the
colour of the cover
lines from white to a
dark blue to ensure
that they could be
read easily

I decided to include a
flannel panel to
address the audience
directly. I think that by
doing this, the
audience feels more
connected to the
magazine and will
therefore respond
positively to it and are
more likely to want to
buy it.
I included contact
information for
social media to this
page. Social media
is used widely by
many people most
of which being
teenagers/students.

I positioned the

I am extremely pleased

favourite answer to
Question 6. If you could
choose the name for the
magazine, what would
you call it?. I created the

what influenced my
decision on typeface.
