Cover: (3)

NOTES:

1. The first sketch (far left) is constructed using the 'F' model. Text is displayed over the central image with the masthead covering the image as well. A tag line at the bottom is also used to entice the reader into purchase.
2. The second sketch (middle) is constructed using 'spiral' the model. The text is displayed to the further right of the cover in this case with spacing to the bottom and left of the rule of thirds to enable focus on the main image. This model allows the eye to move from the top left across the page to the bottom. The masthead is covered by the central image to suggest regular readership.
3. The third sketch (far right) is constructed using the 'Z' model. The central image does not reach the masthead. Text is situated to the top of the rule of thirds, to the right middle, and then the bottom rule. This makes up the 'Z' which can allow more cover lines to be on show. I have chosen create this sketch but change it by making my main image overlay on the masthead which will add to the professionalism of the look. 

Contents: (3)

1. The first sketch (far left) is constructed using the 'F' model. The text for the contents features around a main image.

2. The second sketch (central) is constructed using the Spiral model. The text is based around a boxed image from the side to bottom and to left. It features extra pictures on the left.

3. The third sketch (far right) is constructed using the 'Z' Model. the text is entirely separated from the main image and heading.

All contents I decided to categorise the article names first and feature the page listing afterwards.
