Changes to layout and pictures

After looking at the layout in which i decided to base the magazine cover within, i thought it would be best to keep it even more simple than the way previously suggested. This is because the magazine that captured my attention was based even more plainly.

In order to achieve a front cover just like this, i plan to have the picture which fills the whole page, of a girl reading the Prom '09 invitation, infront of the school gates. The picture must show part of the school bulidings behind her.

Just as on this XXL magazine i am also going to attempt to display the masthead, behind the girl. To do this i presume that i will have to take a picture of the school, and then a seperate picture of the person reading the invite and then put the masthead and a cut out of the girl on top, accordingly.


The main feature has been displayed in bold text in the centre of the page, i am not yet sure whether i would like this to be text advertising the Prom or the festive season of Christmas. This i am going to decide at a later date.

I have taken numerous pictures to be used for the front cover, these were taken on a camera and transferred to the computer. I am going to make a decision as to which picture of the school will be presented on the cover of the magazine. The options are shown below;

Evidently, the majority or pictures were taken landscape, these do not particularly fit the criteria of a potrait magazine therefore if i were to choose one of those taken landscape, it will require me having to take the picture once again.
