Further Drawn Plans

This is my hand drawn interpretation of my final front cover. It is a very rough drawn imitation, but I have developed from my earlier flat plans. I have come up with some ideas for the stories that will be on my front cover. I have also decided more details on the layout of the magazine. I have decided that to conform with the regularities of the other classical music magazines I analysed and will not have a masthead in the top area of the front cover, but I will in it's place have a puff (probably in a red font) and also the issue date and price. Also, to confirm with other classical magazines I will have the bar code in the bottom right corner. I have chose to display the images to illustrate the other stories in boxes along the bottom of the front cover. I think that placing this here will optimize the most of my space. In addition, somewhere on the left of the page I have inserted a puff which contains a freebie, which is contained inside the magazine. I chose the freebie that I did because I think that it will attract a broader audience as it is quite interactive.

This is my very rough interpretation of my final contents page. I have been influenced highly by the contents page which I showed on the previous page. I decided that my editors letter will go in the top right corner, as well of a picture of me so that the audience would know who I am. The features will be along the left side of the page, as this is where the eye first looks. I will put the stories in a bold red font, and they will link in with the pictures of stories on the right. Down the bottom will be an advertisement for regular readers to subscribe to 'Crescendo' which is contained in a lot of music magazines.
