When creating my front cover I originally planned to have two people on the front cover, however I made the decision to cut it down to just one because the gap between the two people was too large and left a space in the middle of the page. I chose this person because he was making clear eye-contact and facing front-on which fitted in with my intended genre for my target audience than the other person would have. I then cut the background out because I felt that it was not suitable for a magazine front cover and may look unprofessional. I then started to add the basic conventions such as the masthead, banner, starburst, headline etc.
