Magazine Cover and poster template

Before i had collected any images i firstly created templates for both the magazine cover and the poster so that when i had taken the images all that would be required is to place them onto the page and then work with them so that it works as either the poster or magazine. i felt this was the most time effective way of making the peices as fitting the image to the page is easier than fitting the page to the image. Also it gave me time to make sure that i had the right fonts and titles rather than rushing into them and they were not fully ready. Therefore i felt if i was to get the main peices of the page out of the way early i would be able to solely concentrate on making sure that the image which was going to be placed on the page was right for the page and gave the correct impression that was required from it.
