Flat Plan Draft

My focus group and survey help me immensely in terms  of the construction of my magazine front c over, contents page and double page spread. Firstly, I have been able to come up with  a unique colour scheme of gold, black and white. I was heavily inspired by 'Rolling Stones' for my front cover as i really admire their layout and format. This helped my front cover look professional and conventional. I feel that using the one image on my front cover helps to give it more meaning and clarity. I feel it represents my chosen genre 'R&B' as its sensual yet sophisticated.

In regards to my contents page, I was again influenced by 'Rolling Stones' magazine with a mixture of 'Q' magazine. I intend to get a few photos of both male and females to represent the range and versatility of R&B. I will include latest gossip from R&B stars, their personal styling tips and how to subscribe to this music magazine. I will also include an editors letter. In terms of the cohesiveness of my magazine; I will use the same fonts for magazine (although not shown on flat plan) and colours.

 

Lastly, I created my double page spread without the influence of other established magazines. Having the upcoming artists name at the top of the page and really bold stands out to the audience & lures them in. Having a happy cheerful pose sets the mood. Again, it will be cohesive as colours scheme will prominent.
