Page Layout

My front cover is going to include a main image of the musical artist covering the whole page also including the masthead; runway in front of the image. By looking at other magazines they have included a heading of the artist name on the magazine and also a subheading about an article inside the magazine about them. I have taken this research into account and included on my front cover as it pleases the reader. The final things I will include are the barcode, time and date and the issue number.

I think my contents is simple but still includes all of the information it needs without looking too messy. My contents will include page references to articles and features so that the readers know what pages to go to when looking for a certain thing within the issue. As well, my contents contains images that feature in the magazine to intrigue and show readers whats to come. Finally, there is a competition included at the bottom of the page.

My double page is very minimalistic which is what I am going for, on the left side of my double page it will include an image of who the article is about using up the whole page. However, the right side will include an interview with the artist. My page layout designs have been inspired from Clash magazine as its a similar style to mine and has helped me a a lot within the planning process of my magazine.

From doing this task, I now have a plan of my layout to go on when producing my magazine which will help guide me through rather than having nothing and being stuck.
