Time Magazine Layout and Cover

For a class, I was given the task to create a fake magazine layout for a prominent news topic. I chose the topic of gun control because I feel it is hot topic in American politics today. I chose Time Magazine because I love how the company regularly styles their front covers and I wanted to emulate that. Feel free to leave any feedback :)

I got the cover image from: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/04/23/battleground-america

I got the news story from: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/06/how-to-interpret-the-second-amendment/373664/
