Music Magazine Digital Flat Plan

 

 

For my music magazine I have created a hand drawn flat plan and also a digital flat plan. The use of the flat plan has helped me think clearly of what I am doing. For my drawn flat plan I didn’t have a clear idea of what photos I would be using so I just drawn a first draft flat plan. After a lot of research I now know what the layout will definitely be based on. Initially the first draft for my flat plan was something you would typically see and conventional. My of the ideas for the layout came from VIBE the rap & RnB magazine.

For the digital flat plan the main inspiration came from NME, Q magazine and KERRANG! For instance for my contents page the layout is the same as NME contents page and also KERRANG magazine masthead has a spider web like design and I thought maybe I use that in my music magazine. I have used a lot of magazine as reference and inspiration for my magazine. For the front cover of my magazine I have placed majority of conventions you would normally see on a magazine. The conventions are there so that the audience are able to understand and interpret information of the magazine easily. For my double page spread I am still not very clear of the layout however it will all come together after I have created the front cover and the contents page.
