Main Task Flat Plans

Front Cover

I wanted my main cover to be simple but at the same time eye catching to the reader.
The first thing the reader is most likely to see is the main image followed by the quote across it, so for that reason; I decided to put my main image in the centre of the page where it will stand out the most to the reader and grab their attention. My main image wil be behind most of the features on the front cover, this allows more space for more information. The main image will be simple as well with soft colours and a simple pose to allow the reader's eyes to freely move across the page to the next part of my magazine.
The next feature the reader is going to look at will be the quote going across the main image, for this reason I will have to choose a catchy quote that will grab the reader's interest. The quote will also have to be bright and bold in a catchy font to have the deisred effect.
The reader will also notice the mast head placed at the top left hand of the magazine. My mast head will have to be bright and easily identifable with the reader. The mast head then allows the reader to naturally move on to the price of the magazine and the issue number. Both these features are important for the reader, the price needs to be easy to read and to understand so the reader will find it easy to buy the magazine. The issue number is important for the reader too; the issue number allows frequent readers to keep up to date with the latest issues.
The coverlines on my magazine will cover the bottom part of my image; the coverlines will have to be bright and colourful so as to stand out to the readers. It is important that they are interesting and are relevant to the articles inside of the magazine. The main coverline will releate to my main image and my other coverlines will relate to the other images and features of the magazine.
There will also be special features on my magazine; this is to advertise and sell the magazine. The special feature could be a free poster, free items or exclusive news andinterviews.



Contents Page
