Drafts
Fro my first drafts of the front cover, contents page and double page spread I have hand drawn them indvidually with the conventional layout of each aspect.
Front Cover
Here is a brief hand drawn scanned image of my front cover, I have sketched out my initial ideas of the layout of my front cover. At the top of my layout is the conventional masthead underneath the masthead to the right is placed the issue number and date. Furthermore the main image is the centre piece of the magazine and is conventionally located in the middle of the cover, traditionally the sell lines are implanted around the main image to pull the readers in by including specific information that will be comprised within the magazine. As I was researching I found that bar code is placed in the bottom right hand corner with the price placed alongside it. Running along the bottom of the main image will be the main cover headline linking to the main image. Conventionally I have also allocated the footer along the bottom of the page this includes artistic expressions and generic information about the magazine.
Contents Page
Here is a brief hand drawn box layout of my initial ideas for the layout of my contents page, along the top of the magazine on the skyline is placed the date, issue number and magazine name. The main conventional 'contents' title is also fixed at the top of the page underneath the skyline. The main feature of the contents page is placed centrally to the right which includes the sub title and then the articles and page numbers. Along the left of the contents page is images and special features that pull the reader in usually the one of the special features will be an advertisement encouraging readers to subscribe. I've also added a image in link to the main image on the front cover this shows continuity and also follows a classic magazine house style.
Double Page Spread
Finally this is scanned hand drawn image of my double page spread, from my research I have found that the main image is placed on the left side of the spread and the article is allocated on the right set in columns. A reason for putting the article in columns is that it follows persistance and allows the reader to get a quick overview of the interview with the artist in question and pull quotes from the article will be placed across the main image as it will pull the reader in and want to buy the magazine. Across both pages of the spread at the top will be the headline and on the right above the article will be the page lead and traditional byline with another smaller image underneath.
