Masthead for magazine front cover and contents (quick sketch)

This is a quick sketch of what i would like my front cover of my sixth form magazine to look like. I thought of calling it 'InFORM' because it links to sixth form, whilst also showing that it will inform the readers of the contents, up the side of the 'M' will be the website. Each of the puffs on the side will have the word FORM in, i will highlight this buy giving them a different colour to the rest of the text. The moto will be underneath the title, as if it were a subheading. The model on the front will of had a mid shot picture, with a fashionable top showing, whilst holding a notepad. 

The heading 'contents' will be in a bold, colourful writing. The main photo will be of a girl standing on the right hand side of the photo, with another attraction in the background of the left hand side, she will look happy and welcoming. I will have the contents of the pages in a faded box, explaining what can be found inside the magazine. This box will be slightly coloured but with a high opacity, because there will be so many different colours in the background, that the writing will not stand out, and i do not want to use a block colour as the background as it will hide the majority of the background. There will be a tree or pond in the background. Underneath will be a discount of some sort, which would attract students, as saving money on school resources is always a bonus. Then beneath that will be a shot of the magazine front cover, along with two more shots of people enjoying life around school. Then at the bottom left of the contents page there will be the magazine title (in the same writing as on the front) and the moto, to show some replication from the front cover.
