I have also miss spelled the Masthead as other people are using the same name for their magazine.
This is the mock design for my final school magazine front
cover. It has the cover lines and pictures on the left side of the page so that
they can be read by other people when the magazine is open and being read. This
advertises the magazine without the company paying any extra money.
The strapline at the top of the page is usually the first
part of the magazine seen by customers so it advertises the fact that the magazine
is new to make it seem more interesting and adventurous. The “Melbourne
Messenger” Masthead is at the top of the page, under the Strapline, this is
because customers should know what the magazine is so they know if they should
keep reading or not.
The Shocking Results screamer is the second moist emphasized
thing on the page after the Masthead, it is not clear about whether the results
are good or bad, making the viewer want to read on to find out. It is split into two colours initially to make
it easier to read but it also adds to the unique look of the cover.
Lastly the footer shows the issue number, date. It also
includes the price as this is the last thing the customer should read.
