Flat plan for main task

Front cover flat plan 

this is my flat plan for my main task of a front cover for a music magazine. However when producing my magazine these ideas may develop further but so far this is my initial idea because i think the cluttered effect shows theres a lot going on making the magazine look more interesting for readers. I decided on this layout because i have been inspired by other music magazines and what mine to have a certain look. I have stuck to magazine conventions so that it fits the guidelines and looks more professional. 

Contents page flat plan

This is my contents page flat plan I chose this layout because I think that it sticks with cluttered effect I was going for to reflect my genre of music magazine. Although it is 

cluttered I think this layout is clear and easy to read and also has a professional look to it. This will help me when creating my actual final product because I will stick to this layout and it will be easier to create it because I will know where to put everything. 

flat plan for double page spread

 This is the flat Plan for my double page spread it isn't to cluttered so will be easily read. I have chosen conventions typically used on a double page spread so that it is appropriate and completely correct. This will help me when actually creating my magazine because it will show me exactly what i need to do in terms of the layout. 

I chose these flat plans as my final designs over other initial ideas because I think they stick to the conventions of a rock/punk music magazine. These designs allow the magazine to be cluttered and eye catching, however for my double page spread I decided to use a simple layout this is so a lot of the attention is drawn to the article and ensuring it is clear and easy to read. Overall I think these flat plans allow for a professional layout put it is still different to every other product out there making it my USP.
