Following magazine research we were given a preliminary project to create a school magazine. For the the task we had to mock-up a front cover and contents page. The cover had to feature one main image, ideally, within the image there would be a boy and a girl so that the front cover would appeal to both genders. We looked at the conventions of a magazine front cover and attempted to apply them to our own front covers. For example, on my front cover I tried to use big, bold masthead so that it would attract the audience and make a big impact, I arranged the cover lines into the the left third so as to make it apear more organised. We then did our contents page, I found this slightly easier as there was a little less to think about with  regards to presentation of information etc.
