Drafting and planning- Using Page Plus

I choose to use red text because i thought it was the color that would stand out the most against the black background. I chose this main image is Eminem is looking at the customer and therefor attracts them more. His hands are reaching out and i think this creates an extremely good effect. The cover line look good against  the edges of the magazine instead of in the middle and not have all of the words touching the edges.

Drafting and planning- Draft double page spread

Here is a draft of my double page spread. I like the idea of having the main letter of something important behind the text. I like this because i think that it makes the magazine look different and more interesting. The writing above will still be easily readable but it will not just be on a blank background so there is more to look at.
