I placed the masthead at the top left of my front cover as this is the first place people look when picking up a magazine. I have the main image covering the whole page so it catches the attention of people who aren't necessarily looking for this magazine. I put the cover line at the bottom of the page as people will automatically look here after looking at the image to find out what the article will be about. I have made this the biggest piece of text as it is the main story so it is more important than the rest of the pieces of text. I have put a subheading under the main cover line to further explain the cover line but in a smaller text so it will only be read if people want to find out more about the article. I have other cover lines for smaller stories down the side with an image to show a visual aid of what the articles is about. I included essential information as this will be necessary for the customer such as the date so they know if any deals or upcoming events have already ended or not, the price so they can decide if they think it is good enough value for money to buy it and a barcode so they can actually purchase it in the shop.
I will repeat the same format and cover scheme for the contents page that was on the cover to establish the brand and keep a house style so it is easily recognisable. I put the masthead at the top of the page so the reader knows what will be on the page below it. I will include relevant images that relate to some of the stories in that issue. Down the left hand side I will state which story will be on each page so the reader can navigate to the stories they want to read instead of having to look through the whole magazine. I will also have an advertisement or a voucher that will be something relative to students so they may buy the magazine purely to get a deal for something essential.
