Task 3: Flat Plan

For the main task, I also created a flat plan to allocate where all the components of the magazine should be. For the front cover, I decided to use the same layout because it appears more professional and also easy for the audience to read.

The masthead, I decided to place at the middle top of the magazine, with big, bold and modern font. This is because to catch the audience attention. By using a modern typography, it would engage my target audience ( young adult) better.

Moreover,  I wanted to place my coverlines around the main image, to avoid the text from covering the image- if the text is overlapping the image, it means the audience will not have a full view of their favourite artist. Therefore it will decrease an interest toward the magazine. 

Mise-en scene that I will using in my music magazine to present the genre of the music magazine is the guitar. This is because I think it would evidently present that this is a music magazine thus it will attract the audience in any other way.   

However, on my contents page I decided to change the layout because I wanted to try to see if this style is suitable for the music magazine or not.

The main image, I wanted to present on the top of the page, this is because I wanted to challenge the conventions that are mostly presented in the common contents page. To add to this, I think to draw and catch the audience attention to the page, I will need to have a good image because this main image will immediately catch the audience attention since the consumer turn the page. To do this I will have to plan my photo shoot properly in order to make the image fit to the space that are available. 

Moreover, the title/ heading will be presented underneath the  main image, this would help the audeince to see which page they are looking at.

At the bottom corner of the magazine, I will put more images for the audicnce to have a wider range of photographs. This would be more appeal to the audience who are have a visually point of view .

I divided an equal side of the double page spread for the image and article. This will bring interests to the audience because they will have a big view of their favourite artist/brand as well as the content about them. Further,pre the heading will be on top of the page in order to
