For my mast head i chose to use a large font that stands out and would appeal to students in that it is interesting rather than a simple boring font such as times new roman or something similar. I went for the simple mast head at the top of the cover. I then have a portrait photograph as the main image for my magazine cover. This is set to the right of the page with the main flash and other stories on the left side. Then at the bottom i put another story.
For the contents page i chose to use one side of the double page spread, the inside cover could be used for an advertisement. The contents page has a simple layout, with main stories and a contents list on the left and several pictures on the right.
