  This font, Knuckle Down, is a font I'm considering for the masthead, since it's distinct. It's a sans-serif font, so I'll find a smaller, serif font for the tagline. Unfortunately, my laptop stopped working, but I managed to get a screenshot of Photoshop before it crashed. I lost the draft that used the Knuckle Down font for the masthead, so I'll have to redo it on an available and compatible device. This alternate cover was going to be in the cover format of Aesthetica magazine (below), which features a masthead that's completely separate from the image.  

 I had a photoshoot for the cover page, with my little sister as my model. I wanted to use coloured lighting, so I put a pink skirt over a desk lamp to get the effect I wanted. We took the pictures in front of a sheer curtain in her bedroom, and I think it made a good background. I wanted to have contrast between the light and shadow, so that if I choose to do greyscale, the image is still striking. Adjusting colours and lighting in PhotoShop This Dazed cover gave me the initial B/W idea. Some more inspo covers
