Date and Barcode

i plan to add the bar code for the front cover at the bottom left of the page, this is in order to avoid it pulling the readers attention away from the headline and main image. I will place the date above the bar code, and i have done this for two reasons. Firstly, i did this to follow my style models as  Q magazine keeps the date near the barcode, and secondly i did this to force the reader to show interest in the magazine by looking for the date to check for how recently the magazine has been published.
