Does the page work?

There are a few basics which you MUST try and stick to when  building your page, this goes for the cover, the contents or the double page spread.

Step 1

Pick a magazine cover.
Draw a diagonal line from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner.

Step 2

Now draw a diagonal line from the to right hand corner which will hit the other line at a RIGHT ANGLE. Repeat this process from the bottom left.

Step 3
