For the preliminary task we designed a cover for an Aquinas magazine which incorporate many of the conventions on magazine covers. From analysing different magazine covers I have found what looks professional and the conventions which are regularly featured on magazine covers such as the masthead, a pug, sub headers and others. I kept to one font for all the text as it keeps it looking professional and consistent, similarly I tried to keep the colour scheme consistent too keeping the same red frequent and alternating with black and white.
The layout looks typical to a magazine cover with the masthead being large at the top of the page, the typography being well proportioned and consistent and secondary images to show what else is in the magazine. This could still be improved however, there's a lot of empty space, the secondary images are quite small and the pull quote goes over the subjects face.
