Front Cover Layout 2

This is one of my possible designs for my magazine front cover. I have positioned the mast head in the top left hand corner within the left thrids of the page as this area would mainly be seen when the magazines are stacked on the shop shelf.  Also, my positioning the title here, it looks similar to the layout of the 'Q' magazine, it will aslo allow room for a main image to cover the rest of the page. The barcode would be located at thr bottom right hand corner as this is a vital element of a magazine front cover and by placing it here would make it very discrete and wouldnt take the main focus off of the main image. The cover stories will also run down the left thrids of the page so that they are in sight of the audience when they are stacked on the shelf. This layout is a bit more busier than the previous one because i felt that more text needed to be added in to make it have an even balance between pictures and writing. This crowded feel would relate to the chaotic feel at rock gigs, therefore this would appeal to my taregt audience and the style of the magazine. The main image for the cover would be a medium close up i feel as though it would work better with this partiuclar style layout. All depending on the colour scheme I select, will depend on what colour will be featured where.
