For my main image I used the same sort of
size of image and tried to get the same
stance that Ice Cube had on The Source
magazine. I then had the same layout for my
masthead at the top of the magazine, but
instead of my models head being over the
text I slightly faded the text and had the
image behind the text. Then with the cover
lines I spreaded them around the cover rather
than having them around the sides, I also had
a stroke behind my text so that it would stand
out more considering it was in the middle of
the image. I also copied the barcode size and
date/price text size so that they weren't too
visible just like in The Source magazine.

For my contents page I decided to keep the same
colour scheme and font for my masthead I did this
because it stands out over everything else on the
page so the audience know what page theyre
reading straight away. I then put the slogan and
date above and below the masthead as I thought
they were important bits of text that needed to
also stand out. The next bits of text were my page
numbers/descriptions and my editorial, for these I
wanted them to stand out but without making
them too big, thats why I put a background box
behind the text and made the text the opposite
colour (white and black).On my contents page I
used 5 different images, 4 of artists that were
included in the magazine and one of myself to
show the reader who wrote the editorial. At the
bottom of the page I added Social networking links,
I did this to tell the reader that there are other
places that they can read the magazine and find
information about magazine releases.
