My Student Magazine: Working Progress

Here's my working progress of my student magazine. I have screen grabbed the selection of the screen to show the boxes I have used to create this final piece. You can see all the boxes and text space I used to create the cover.
It was a lot more simple than I had anticipated, but thankfully I managed it all ok.
The QR code I made online so the scanner actually works and sends you directly to the link as promised.
I didn't know whether or  not to have the banner across the bottom, I think it works well with or without but I decided not to use it as I think it makes it look slightly childish/tacky and less professional looking. It also clutters the bottom right hand side of the cover.

Here is my working progress of my contents page. The picture of me on the bottom right of the left page I removed as I didn't feel it was necessary to have myself on the page - and I prefered it without. I think that having a random picture of me would have affected how the page turned out overall, so I'm pleased I made the decision to remove it. I really like the layout of the contents page and I'm really proud of the final results. It came out much better than I expected as it looked exactly as I wanted it to.
