Layout Choices

Since I'm shooting my pictures this weekend I've decided to start creating the magazine cover and content page. I like both of my content page choices. I feel that choice two is more artistic and ties in to my topic nicely, it also uses most of the space available on the page. However, it doesn't allow for many topics to be displayed on the page.  Choice one, on the other hand, leaves a lot of empty space but that can be changed with a few edits. The blocks in choice one match the blocks in the image. I think I'm going to use choice one though, it allows for more information to be conveyed to the reader.

Content Page Choice 2

For my cover, I want to either have a traditional design in which my model looks straight at the camera or have a more artistic design that I haven't quite chosen yet. The design below may be a kind of design I can use but I have to decide that when I go shoot my pictures tomorrow. I'm planning on taking portraits of my model, Erin Imhof, in an environment that shows character and will help attract  those between the ages of 17 and 25 years.
