Little White Lies brief

As you can see Little White Lies magazine doesnt have just 1 style, it can be type based, image based or both so it is up to me to decide what I want to do for it, This gives me less restrictions which is sometimes more difficult however the only thing I do need to keep the same is the white lies logo in a white circle, so I must make sure whatever I do design will be below that not to be covered up.
