Magazine flatplans

Front cover:

• Masthead along the top of the page in large font as it is conventional with a glow around the text to look eye catching and unique.
• Main image is very large as it is the main focus of the magazine and is typically the main selling point of a magazine therefore it is crucial that it stands out significantly 
• Large main cover line over the image to give context and tease the reader into purchasing/wanting to read the article about the main artist on the cover
• Cover line on the left hand side of the magazine featuring names of artists/bands which will be inside the article to appeal to those who are fans of them and to not just solely rely on the main artist on the cover to sell copies.

Contents page:

• Page numbers/contents of the magazine displayed on the left hand side to keep the page organised and easy to read
• Main image on the right hand side of the contents column to keep a good balance of text and images to ensure that the reader does not become uninterested with the amount of text on the page as this is common among teenagers 
• 'Singles of the week' have been included to inform the reader about new releases that people perhaps have not heard of and are the same genre of the artists featured inside and could persuade people to purchase next week's copies to keep up to date with current music
• Social media links included at the bottom of the page for audience interaction and to engage personally with the reader so they can keep more up to date with the magazine and forthcoming magazines, making them more likely to buy another copy in the future,

Double page spread

• Large main image of the featured artist which will take up the entire left page of the double page spread 
• Main title along the top of the page to inform the reader/give context to the image
• Subheading to inform the reader in further detail about the interview
• Article displayed in columns with a pull quote in the middle to keep organisation but to also ensure that the page looks interesting
