Flat Plan for my Draft Magazine:

Front Cover: For my front cover I have created a simple design that reflects my intended design that I will be doing for my draft magazine. Here I have placed the photo in the middle of the cover with a border around the edge, with text at the bottom edge of the photo and at the top left hand side of it. This would be probably be different on the final design because I think the addition of a full image on the cover with the coverlines surrounding it would look better for my style of magazine. However because this is just a draft for my final design I still have time to change anything that doesn't look completely right. Also the font type for my draft will be different to this, as I have already found a font on 1001 Fonts I plan to use a number of fonts to create my magazine from this website. Also I have added the tagline 'The Unique Issue', this is a reference to i-D magazine because they do this on every issue that they produce and personally I think that this adds a certain charm to the magazine because it lets the audience know what to expect in the content of the print which is what I want to do for my magazine. 

Contents Page: For my contents page I have decided that I want a large image in the centre with writing over the top of that. I have taken inspiration for this from both Dazed and Confused and also Clash. They have a very unusual way of laying out their contents page and I would like to be innovative and create something different as well that will really catch the eye of a reader and persuade them to actually glance at the page because of the eye catching design. I have chosen to do such a large picture in the contents page because I think that this really adds a drama and elegance to the magazine as it is just something different to look at in the magazine.

Double Page Spread: For this page I am really interested in making a design that is very simplistic but still interests the eye enough to actually carry on reading. I like the thought of really focusing on having the pictures on one side and the writing on the other because I think that this makes the whole magazine look cleaner and slick. Which is what I want to achieve in my final design. I feel as though the text placement on the page is also incredibly important because that can also make for an interesting design and therefore again, engaging the reader to actually carry on reading the magazine article.
