Mock up one

This is a simple mock up just to see if the layout of my front cover would work. I really like the banner at the bottom of the page because it lets the reader know what will be inside the magazine so i am thinking that i will use this on my magazine cover. I will be using this colour scheme as it will apply to both boys and girls and because it reflects my genre of the magazine which is indie. As you can see i have put my picture on top of my title because my picture is more important to the reader then the masthead. this is because the reader is more interested in who is in the magazine then the name of the magazine.
