FLAT PLANS

FLAT PLAN-FINAL IDEA

For my flat plans I have looked at other magazines that were most popular in my questionnaire for example I looked at Q, NME, Kerrang these all have different styles but similar ways in how they are put together. After I have looked at all these I am going to decide on my final flat plans and how I'm going to create my front cover, contents page and double page spread with elements from all these magazines.

Strong headline over her head works well.

Going to use a bold name same colour as main title as it works well!

Bar code on the side I am going to use this!

White background and studio image I am going to recreate this for my front cover.

Bold logo against another colour may use!

Bold name across front of magazine going to use with the girl I am going to use!

Going to use this colour scheme of black white red and grey

Going to make the outfit fit in with the colour scheme of my magazine!

Going to make the clothes and hair fit into the colour scheme also so it fits in well

Going to use a range of bands like this to fit in with my mise-en-scene.

I’m going to keep the costumes plain and simple so that the focus is more on the face like this one.

Going to use boxes to go round the main head line and the band names like this one does so well!

I have used the elements from all three of the magazines from the band names to the main sell line with the name image taking up the whole space. I have used these elements because I have looked at the things that stand out most on these magazines and I have put them together to create something unique. I have also used a bored round the edge which i have seen on previous NME magazines for example:

I think that if I stick to this flat plan by using all the elements I said I would from the world wide magazine I can create a magazine that is unique.

CONTENTS PAGE

FINAL IDEAS

Going to use a large title but not naming it contents page because everyone will know this anyway

Main central image will be used.

Smaller contents page using the other room for the main images of the articles.

Lines to break up the page.

Going to use a date in this style in an italic font

Going to use boxes round my heading to fit in with the front cover.

Going to use a date at the top of the page but more like NME.

Going to stick to the same colour scheme as the front cover.

May use the front cover on the contents page like this one.

Main article image to be as large as this one.

May use neatly placed images like this as it looks symmetrical.

I’m going to make the titles stand out so that its easier for the reader.

I have used elements from the three contents pages and other to try and create something that is unique. I think this is going to work well because it is easy to read will be neat, and have a lot going on so it is more interesting. I am going to try not to have a lot of writing because of my target audience, I think that it just needs to tell you where stuff is and well presented also, so that it is easier for the audience and attractive.

PS

Text going behind the image

Italic writing I am going to use

Going to use a large letter

Going to use a colour scheme similar to this

Going to use a pose which will fill half the page

I think I may do my interview like this one where the questions are in another colour

Simple colour scheme which i will use

I am going to use a strong bold image which will take up the page

I am going to create my double page spread to be like this because I want it to be simple but striking, I think that from the three most popular magazines I think that having looked at similar double page spreads I can tell that this is a popular layout as it works really well and it stands out to the audience. I am going to create something of a similarity of the other magazines I have looked at the audience research liked.
