First Mock up

The Masthead is at the top left of the page as this is the first place people look. It is the largest text on the page and is in bold, bright and turquoise font which stands out against the black and white main image. It fits in with the house style which is white, turquoise and red.
The first bit of the Headline 'Nicole Hill' is in large, white font which stands out against the black and white image, it is larger than the second bit of the headline so the artists' name stands out. This will attract fans to the magazine. The second bit 'Nicole's Top Ten Greatest Albums of All Time' is in a smaller font that is in a turquoise colour. This is for variation and so it stands out against the dull background.
There are coverlines at the top and bottom of the page. At the bottom it says ' Backstage and Exclusive Interview with Miles Kane' in small, white font so it contrasts against the background. At top of the page there is another coverline saying 'Plus Arctic Monkeys The Strokes Peace Franz Ferdinand'. 'Plus' is in blue font, 'Arctic Monkeys' and 'Peace' are in white font and 'The Strokes' and 'Franz Ferdinand' are in red. This is so they alternate and you can tell that they are coverlines. As they are at the top and bottom of the page they replace banners. I didn't put the coverlines near the Headline as I wanted the image to stand out and I didn't want to be cluttered, so it doesn't follow normal conventions of a front cover.
The main image is in black and white and is a close up. The model is looking at the camera, making eye contact with the audience.
