Drafting and Planning: Cover Page Layout Draft

In preparation for creating my magazine, I decided to plan the layout I would like to use for my cover page. I’ve decided that I am going to use a skyline at the top of my cover to advertise posters. I will have secondary cover lines positioned in a bar on the  left hand side of the page, I want to do this to dedicate the main portion of the cover to my cover star, and to reduce clutter. This will mean that it will be easy for the readers to see who is featured without being overwhelmed by masses of text all over the cover. I will use the bottom right corner of my cover as an area for “Also Inside” for things like CD’s, games, quizzes, etc. My main image will take up ¾ of the page to ensure that it is the first thing the reader notices. Finally, my main cover line will be slanted slightly to make it seem more prominent. I will position my anchorage text at the bottom of my main cover line to draw the reader’s attention to the “Also Inside” box below it.
