Within this post, i have planned the magazine front cover and how i want it set out. I have included many important features such as the main title/ masthead which will be decided at a later date, i have also included slight insights from inside the magazine (3 maximum) and also a main image. I also added in a strapline so the selling line to the audience, model credit, a lead article, barcode, release date, price, issue/ serial number and another box to show the type of season for the clothing.
