I have chosen to follow to the typical conventions of a magazine by including the Masthead as the main aspect of the visual hierarchy by locating it at the top half of the front cover. I have also chosen to include an image this again follows the conventions of a magazine; i believe that the image is the second most eye catching thing on my magazine therefore should be just smaller than the masthead and should be rather good as its refection the rest of the magazine quality. Other conventions are the date line and the selling line, however as you can see I've put them near the bottom of the magazine as in my opinion as they aren't as visually important as the masthead or image/'s.

The typography I have chosen to use is BOLD as I believe it attracts the reader more and may show some sort of urgency will be quite large so again will hopefully attract the viewers attention. I have chosen to use Blue as I feel like its more of a boyish colour and in my opinion males are more likely to read my magazines than females. However i have made all the writing blue which could have been a mistake as it doesn't allow the masthead to stand out as much as it could do.

The images I will use are going to consist of gym equipment and those who are frequently in gym or are staying active in some way or I could chose to possibly include healthy food. This will hopefully draw the readers attention and allow them assume that these are the kind of images the magazine will consist of. Also if the images are of a high standard and are showing someone looking quite strong or fit it may make the magazine look more reliable.
