Prelim Task: Typography

Occasionally, they would use red white and blue also to make the masthead stand out more.

I have also taken into consideration the target audience of 14-18 year old, because of that I will be using a model that fits the age range. My model will be wearing casual clothes to represent that the magazine is casual summer wear. I have also decided to take my main image in the recording studio because I feel like it has a casual element to it as well as good lighting for my cover to be shot in.
