Front Cover Progress - Measurements

Firstly I had to decide what measurements I was going to use for my front cover, they would not only be the measurements for just that page so I had to think what size pages would be more suitable for my prospectus.

When I usually create things using Adobe Photoshop I use the measurements:

These measurements give me normal A4 size piece of paper, this will mean that my prospectus will be quite large which is not something that I want. I decided this during my research when I came to the conclusion that not many prospectuses are printed onto A4 paper.

This is why I changed the measurements slightly and came up with these:

By using the measurements instead it produced a smaller booklet, however the width will remain the same so I am not cramming too much into one page making it look unprofessional. 

After putting the measurements into photoshop I was left with this shape:

I think this is the size page is the perfect size for my prospectus and I will be using these measurements when I begin the development stage of my piece.
