First Front Cover Design

This is the first front cover. It contains, from top to bottom, a skyline, masthead, main image, cover lines, a main cover line and a bar code and date area. The masthead is on the left hand side of the page, as due to my research, this is where i have found out that most masthead appear as this is one of the the firsts thing that people look at. 

The main image takes up the whole of the page, and the background for the page is the background of the image. The cover lines surround the neck/shoulder area of the model and the main cover line is going to obscure the image slightly however, you will

still be able to clearly see beneath it.
