Front Cover

Contents Page

Double Page Spread

These drafts show my ideas in terms of planning and layout for the front cover, contents page and double page spread in my magazine. For the front cover, I have decided to use a close up shot of someone's face which is in front of the masthead with cover lines at the sides. The main cover line is a serif font and is positioned at the lower half of the page. The contents page has a conventional layout with a page title and side column which indicates different sections of the magazine. It also has an image (medium shot) of the person featured on the cover with text around it, like a mini article. There is also a banner across the page that advertises to the target audience subscription to the magazine. Finally, my double page spread features a pull quote title across both pages and a large wide shot image. The text is written on one side of the page in columns to follow magazine conventions and to meet audience expectations. Every page has a limited colour palette of 3 or 4 main colours.
