Cover Construction: Skyline

I decided that I wanted to add a skyline to my magazine so that I could include more information on the cover and encourage more people to buy the magazine. To do this I had to rearrange some of the cover lines and move the masthead down slightly, without covering my model's face.

First, I decided that the slogan "think loud" was too large and obvious and attracted to much attention. I decided to move the slogan below the masthead and change the colour so that it did not stand out as much. I had to move a cover line down to allow room for the masthead to move down so I could fit a skyline.

Moving everything down gave me the room to add a skyline.

After changing the colour of "THINK LOUD" to the light grey I decided that all of the text around the masthead should be coloured in the same grey so that they do not detract from the masthead.

 I feel that this is much better as the masthead is more prominent at the top third of the page. However, I thought that the masthead should be coloured black to stand out from the skyline, but also so that my model draws more attention.
