This sketch is the flat plan for my front cover, i have also used colours that i am going to use in my final piece. The main image on my front cover is going to be an image of an artist's face, which is going to be brought behind all of the other information that my cover is going to consist of. The title of my magazine is going to be at the top of the page written in bold/striking letter, (to attract the reader also making it clear what the name of the magazine is.) I have also chosen to put my title up hear because it will be easily recognised on a stand full of other magazines because the top will show above the magazine that has been placed in front of it. Below my magazine title is going to be a slogan that only appeals to my magazine and can be easily related to by the customers who purchase my magazine .Another feature of my front cover is the picture of the poster that is included free in this month's issue, this is a good strategy for drawing in my audience, purely because of the fact that young people are highly drawn to free products. The name of my artist is going to be placed over is going to be placed of the top of the image. I have named the artist 'DJ' because i have not yet thought of an appropriate name for my main article (which is going to be about the artist on the cover). Another incentive i am going to include on my cover is the chance to win tickets to exclusive gigs and concerts that can only be won in Flash magazine . i am also going to have a short snappy sentence to explain to the reader the main article in my magazine, this is going to be written just under the artists name. Just above the artists name is going to be a list of the top tracks of the week, this will be a helpful way to attract my audience because they will be interested in the new songs and how they're doing, also without having to flick through a magazine to find such little information. My bar code and price of my magazine is going to be printed in the bottom right hand corner, because it will be out of the way of my images and magazine features.
This is my contents page. I have put the name of the page in the same place as i have for my title on my front cover. This is to minimise confusion for my audience who are picking up my magazine in the shops and are looking to see what is inside this issue. The page number are placed underneath my page title and finish down towards the left side of the page. An image of an article is going to be printed behind my page numbers, with a sub-heading about the image below. The main colour is going to match with my front cover (red).
This is a rough sketch of my main double-page spread inside my magazine. The design of the two pages is very simple but is used by many successful dance magazines, one these is mixmag, and that is were i got the design from. The title of the article is going to be placed on the left page, on the top left hand side. I am going to have one image on this page which is going to cover the whole of the two pages. i have done this to create affect of as though the reader is looking straight the eye's of the artist. The literature of the article is going to also be on the left page, at the very bottom. I am not going to write a great deal of information in this article because having researched my audience i have found out that if they have to read a great deal of text they'll become bored, eventually loosing interest in what they're reading about. i have put the page numbers at the bottom of the two pages.
