I began by inserting a text box onto my edited photograph and typing out my masthead.

Again, I inserted a text box for my main story’s coverline. I made sure that ‘Molly’ was written in impact size 72 to make it clear that she is the coverstar and I used impact because, as a sans serif font, it gives the cover a modern look. I made my tagline Arial, blue in size 30 to give a hint as to what the article is. I put this along le left hand side as that is where natural eyeflow goes from and therefore, this should be where the most enticing cover story is to make more of my demographic want to buy it.

For the coverlines on the right hand side, I chose to align them to the right as is convention. I made ‘top 10 charts’ size 60 in Impact to make it stand out. I chose to use a dark blue to match my model’s blue top and to compliment the cool tones (whites and greys) which are continuous throughout my pages.

Where text was overlapping my model’s blue shirt, I made it white so it was readable and because it was further down my page, I made the Article title size 36and the description size 24 to show that its not the most important part of the issue.
