My page layouts!

I have placed the masthead at the top in the center since it is conventional and needs to been shown off since the masthead is important to attract the audience. I have covered some of the masthead with the main image since my idea is that the main image will be my source of attracting the audience due to the bright colours. My main image will be my unique selling point so why is why i want it to cover most of my front cover. I will be putting information about what is inside and sell lines across as once the audience notice these it will make them want to buy the magazine even more. I will have a bright coloured background and pink text to stand out. In the middle of the image I will their name/title, it will overlap my main image. In the bottom right hand corner I will put my barcode since this is necessary for magazines, Another idea i have took from my research is to use sell lines, i will use at least 3 in my front cover, one of these being a free CD i will incorporate into the magazine. I have decided to name my magazine 'Strobe'. 











The main image that I will use will be on the left page since this is conventional and leaves alot of space for my article. I will have the main headline/Quote on the top of the right side to introduce my artist,  The other image i have will be placed under my text and will be relevant to what the text is talking about. My double page spread will be simplistic, i took this idea from analyzing other magazines. The text will be in columns and go across the bottom half of the pages in three separate columns.The reason i used a pull quote is to engage the audience with a interesting fact relevant to the artist. The text will be simple and black reflecting on a white background. I will also have advert for my artists new single.











The title of the contents will be in the top left hand corner, since its conventional and it is were most people begin to read from.The biggest image will be under the listing of page information and will be relevant to it, i have made it so the text is more important than my main image, the image is just to help give the page some life. I will be keeping my contents page very simple with it just getting straight to the point, i will have a simple design on the right-hand side. There will also be a competition advertisement in the top left hand corner of the page, this is to attract the audience in more since people like to look at the contents page before buying the magazine. I have chosen a simple design since i believe they are more attractive to the eye and people don't want to be bombarded with information and pictures while looking at the contents page since it is for information alone.
