Making Progress (Cover Page)

          Once I had finished played around with the website a bit, I started to layout the cover page. I'm pleased with how it looks so far, however I am not completely sure if all of what I have laid out is here to stay. One aspect that is pending is the masthead. I was having trouble coming up with the brand name, so I just put Trendy to be my placeholder for now. It might stay, it might not. Before I delve too deeply into analyzing my work so far, let me show you what I have done so far:

          You probably noticed that a big part of the cover page is missing - the main cover image. I'm working on it. I have plans to go and take pictures for my magazine tomorrow, so hopefully that will work out. But for now, I have a good idea of how the rest of the cover page will look. As you can see, my main color scheme is black/gray. I chose to make the main cover line a different color than the other cover lines because the focus of this issue will be spring, and the color green accentuates that. One thing that I am sure will stay is the font of the masthead. I think it is perfect for the type of magazine that I am trying to create. It's not too formal- instead it brings upon a sense of creativity and individuality. I've also added some essential elements that a cover page should have; such as a dateline, price, and barcode in the bottom left corner. I've incorporated both numbers and lists into my cover lines to add appeal. I've also added a selling line located right above the masthead. This is subject to change as well, but for now I like it- it is short and to the point.

          I am constantly doing subtle changes to the cover page such as spacing and font size, trying to ensure that it looks as organized and professional as possible.
