Here is an example of an unconventional magazine cover. I would rather use an unconventional cover for my ,magazine, as it is more likely to be unique, and perhaps it will draw more peoples attention. The only problem with this is that i will have to spend a lot of time making this look professional, as often unconventional magazine covers do not look professional. 

Here i have found a picture similar to the style of the one i want to use on my front cover, and designed a mock layout of a front cover. This is quite a conventional, basic, normal style of front cover, but i want to make my magazine look different.
