Planning- Cover

 Hello Beautiful People! The last thing I have to plan before I start production is my magazine cover. Since all cover pages have pretty much the same conventions that I already discussed in my previous research posts, these will be specific elements that I've decided to include in mine. 

Title

I've already decided that the name of my magazine will be "Elite", but I've also decided that it will be a teen sports magazine, and this specific one will be the gymnastics edition. Because of this, I'm going to have the word "Elite" in large, bold font at the top, and the words "Gymnastics Edition" in a smaller font underneath. I also like the modern look of hollow letters, especially for secondary headings, so I'm going to have the gymnastics part in outline letters. It will be something like this, but probably all white font and the bottom words will be smaller than the top ones; 

Photo

I've mentioned in the past that I love that I love how blurred backgrounds look on covers, so my cover photo is going to be  a gymnast doing some kind of pose with a blurred background. I also want to try to have her head layered on top of the title, like I've seen in other magazines, but I'm not sure If I'll be able to figure it out. This is what I mean by blurring and layering; 

Cover lines/ Puffs

The main, big cover line is obviously going to be my feature article, and I'm just going to pick out a couple more headings from my table of contents.
