Flat Plans

I have drawn 4 flat plans, 2 front covers, a double page spread and a contents page.

Out of the 2 front covers I will use my second one because I feel it will look more professional and it just looks most like a magazine. I have not decided what font I will use yet but I will use a range of colours for the Head Mast. I will take the picture but it might not be exact there might be a female on the front instead of one of the males this is because I think it will give it more of an appeal to girls. I looked at some front covers from other "Hip Hop" (VIBE THE SOURCE) magazines to get some ideas and the really helped with would the picture should be like and how it should be placed on the front cover.

For the content I looked at an example of a content page from a VIBE magazine, this gave me the idea to have the picture on the page. The layout of the content page is simple and I think makes it easier to see what is on what page etc. I will use simple colours like grey and maybe a bit of red but it wont be full of really bright colours because I think this type of magazine has cool, plain but chilled colours to represent the type of music it is meant for.

The double page spread has a similar layout to a spread from an issue of THE SOURCE magazine. This helped give me the an idea of the sort of things that should go on the spread but I am not going to use as many pictures as the magazine that I looked at had because I think this will give the spread a busy feel to it which shows the reader that there is a lot there can read in this magazine. I am going to make this page fairly colourful which contradicts what i said about the content page, but i will be doing this because I think it will draw the readers eye to this page.

I have miss placed my media folder which contains my flat plans!
