This is my first attempt at creating a magazine cover on microsoft publisher and will be used as scafolding for my task to create a school magazine front cover.

I have alotted space too specific things such as my mast head or main story's headline, with some over lap taking place with things such as headlines (of which most would be empty space) over a picture so as to fill the page and attract the readers eye.

dispite needing to attrated the eye, i must also retain a sort of minimalist approach as if i bombard the reader with a mass of colour and pictures it will be too overwhelming and therefore not attractive.

as i metioned before i used microsoft publisher for this mock, but i shall use photo shop for my actual piece of work as it is a better program.
