Flat Plans

This is a flat plan for the front cover of my music magazine. The name i have decidedf to call my magazine is 45RPM, the reason i have chosen this name is because it is short and snappy and relates to music. I have decided i will use 1 image on my front cover and i think it will be a medium close up, however, i will make thye image go underneath all of my writing on the cover as it will be more interesting and eye catching, unlike this drawing. I will use colours that are unisex for my writing and title as it will best suit my target audience. I dont think my flat plan is an exact image of my magazine as it is difficult to imagine what the final product will be like. The background of the frontcover, behind my model will be plain to make my model stand out and be the main attr4action. I will add more sell lines in the real thing and especially on the right as i have not put any on that side in my flat plan. I will make the font bold and easy to read and keep the same colour and style throughout my magazine, on the contents page and the double page spread also. I have placed my main sell line across the bottom of the front cover to draw the readers attention.I chose to make the main sell line large as it is the main feature other than the photograph and will inform the reader who the person featured on the cover is if they have not seen them before.

 This is a flat plan of my contents page. I have decided to make the heading "INSIDE" because its short and snappy and straight to the point. I will keep the colour sheme the same on this page as the cover. The contents page background, a lot like the cover will stay reasonably plain to make any images used stand out. i have boxed in each sell line to make it look neat however i do not intend to keep it like that for my real thing as it looks too boring and un interesting. The pahe numbers will be a sepourate colour from the rest of the text to make it easier to find and stand out. I will also have on my contents page a number of advers, this will make my magazine more realistic and interesting. The main interview will be written in large letters of the name of the band and underneath will be a quote from the interview to interest the reader further. I have also decided to have one main image in the center of my contents page to make it more interesting, however, i have decided i will have more than 1 on the final product. This will make the page less dull and more exciting.

This is a sketch of how i would like my double page spread to look. I would like an image to dominate the left page to make it look more appealing and to catch the readers eye. i have decided to write my article on the right page and into 3 different columns to break up the text a bit and to still make it look professional. i have decided that i will put a background onto the page being all the text and images to make the page look more interesting and to draw the reader in. i will use a colour theme of red black and white, just like the rest of my magazine to keep the theme on going. However, although i will keep the theme going, i am going to create some variation  of colour by adding different colour in my images.
