Final front cover

This is my final front cover, I have chosen to use this photograph of my model because it is the most engaging as it is a close up, and she is looking directly towards the camera. The image has been positioned in the centre of the page, the masthead 'Millennium' has been placed across the top. It's in a white sans-serif font which is quite simple but makes it clear and bold. The main headline is 'Issy' which is in the second largest font size as it is important, it's again in a white sans-serif font with a black stroke around the outside which makes it stand out and informs the reader what the main article/feature is about. The strap line underneath it is 'Brand new release', the 'NEW' is emphasized and in a red/pink colour which links my three house colours of black, white and cerise. The barcode has been placed in the bottom right hand corner which makes it look more professional, the price is '£1.99' as that is an affordable price according to the feedback from my questionnaire and the issue date has been put next to the barcode so it informs the reader how recent it is. The black banner has been kept the same, with more celebrity names to intrigue a wider audience, especially their fan base. The pull quote has been moved closer to the main headline so it is clear that it links with the 'Issy' headline and it has been put in a bolder font to make it more prominent. The headlines are down the left hand side, the celebrity names have been underlined  and I have added a cerise dotted line underneath to separate them and give it a organised structure. The cover lines give the reader more information, I added an extra one about 'The Vamps' to cover more and fill space.  I created a more exciting pug which is in the top right hand corner, it says 'First Issue' in the middle which creates more interest and around the outside it says 'Win VIP tickets to see Katy Perry:' which attracts potential readers as it implies there is a competition inside and again uses my three main house colours
