I have choose this background colour as the models clothes and the background colour compliment each other. I have also added a bar code onto the bottom right hand corner this is to make it look realistic and professional. The masthead It large and bold to stand out i choose the colour white beacuse it blends in with the colour scheme. All three of my groups magazines have some part of the masthead covered this is so well known and popular with readers and can be reconised without all of the word showing.
