This the the flat plan for my own magazine cover. I went with the name 'Duet' for my magazine as it has musical connotations and also represents the duet between the two styles of music I will feature, modern and classic rock. It is also short and simple.
In my layout the main features are the image and the masthead/logo. I have done this as in my research these are the two most important things when it comes to capturing the buyers attention. Sometimes established and recognised magazines have the artists image covering part of the masthead. I have decided not to do this as I don't want to assume that it is an old magazine but maybe a relatively new one, in which case I need to make the name and the brand clear. The artists image takes up the majority of the cover and the rest of the text fits around it. I have also decided to feature the name of the artist who is on my cover in a recognisably larger font than the rest. I also have a tag line running across the bottom of my masthead. At the moment it is ' Classic and Modern Rock', but I think this may change later when I am creating my magazine.
This is the flat plan for my contents page. The main feature on this page is again the image. The image will be of a different artist than the one on the front cover but showing more than just there head a shoulders. The actual table of contents will fit around this like in Mojo. I have also included room for an editors note and maybe an advertisement.
This is the flat plan for my double page spread. This one is pretty loose as i'm not 100% how exactly I want to do it but this is just the basic first thoughts for it's layout. I think I will have half the page as an image and half text. The largest piece of text is the artists name and then a sub heading below it.
