Front Page Design #3

For my third front cover design I decided to use a mid shot image. Like the other designs the title is positioned at the top, spreading across the width of the page. I surrounded the title with a border to make it stand out. I chose to slightly overlap the image with the title so that the image appears as though it is coming out of the page. This is also a typical magazine convention. After collecting the results from my poll I found that the images on a magazine cover are extremely important and tend to be what initially attracts the audience. For this reason I think it is essential that the image is as strong and prominent as possible. The text on this design is distributed relatively equally and there is a smaller image on the right-hand side. I also added a pug on the left-hand side of the cover, above the barcode. By positioning these 2 features down the left-hand third of the cover I am following magazine conventions. The features most likely to attract the audience are usually positioned down this third because this is the section that is most visible when the magazine is stacked on a shop shelf.
