I have created some flat plans after conducting my market research. This will give me much needed insight into how my magazine will look overall and how I can make it more appealing through the layout when designing my publication. Like many music magazines I will have a consistent house style, I will also have the institutional title and the page number on all my final products.
For the first front cover flat plan I decided to have a large clear title at the top which will stand out and grab the audience’s attention, furthermore I will also have a large picture with minimal writing as this is what my market research suggested would be popular. For the second flat plan I decided to have both a top and bottom skyline which I think will grab the audience’s attention as it stands out. I also decided to add inserts as I think it will help the magazine to look more professional.
For my contents page flat plans I decided to keep both of them simple and organised as this is what my target audience are looking for in a contents page. Both of the flat plans have a main and secondary image on them which I think should portray and image to one of the stories on the page. I think the second contents page is more simple and sophisticated than the first one.
For the double page flat plans I tried to use all the space effectively. In the first flat plan I have a huge picture to cover the whole page with a quote, I think this will grab the audience’s attention straight away. I article is all on the right side which is simple and easy to navigate. For the second flat plan I used a more complicated layout by having an article text, then the main image, two secondary images and then some more text, I think this may be harder to make and may not be as effective as the first one.
