Front Cover Continued

Next I decided to create the title for the main feature of the magazine - the story about my cover artist Ashley. I decided to use one of my texts that I would of used for the heading for this, as I had already established that it would have the right look for the rock genre of the magazine.

I also added 'Exclusive!' above the story to make it seem exciting and a never-seen-before story. Here is the finished title feature:
