Maslows theory of needs

This here is the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Its is a theory of human motivation that is used in Psychology. It determines the needs of humans and then puts them into a pyramid hierarchy.The pyramid is constructed with 5 levels, each concentrating on different sections; Self actualization, Esteem, love/belonging, safety, and physiological. Each sector has different reasons, one is on friendship, family and sexual intimacy and the other is on breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homestasis, and excretion. They all very around. To get my magazine to sell I I will need to make look appliing to the customer so that it will become an essential to them and make them by it, I why that I could make this succesful is also by making the magazine to the customers tast and think of what type of things they would want to see within there magazine.

Design ideas

Above is my initial idea 1:

This here is my first initial idea, this front cover looks really neat and it shows the hole of the main picture. It also shows many different pictures and stories that are within the magazine, it also has a pug on it which stands out a lot due to the size of it, the title is also nice large standing out letting the reader able to read the title with out any problems. This could be a possible choice for my final front cover.
