Flat plan of my music magazine

I am unsure yet what my front cover is going to look like, and it may not look like this at all. But I have a vague idea of what I want it too look like. I obviously want the masthead to be at the top of the page. The light blue box represents where the title is going to be. And the large purple shape in the background represents where the main image of my model is going to be.  The main image of my model will have their head slightly over the masthead. This will make it look more interesting and appealing. Also the little purple boxes put at different angles represent other pictures I will be using on my magazine cover. On this diagram I have not put boxes for text but I will also include text on my front cover. There will be a main cover line across the front of the main image, either quoting something the model has said or something to do with her type of music. There will also be other cover lines describing the other, smaller images.





For the double pages spread, I am going to have a large picture  of my main model across  the top of the page to make them the main focus. This is represented by a large purple rectangle. There will also be a large heading across the top of the main although this is not shown in the plan. The heading will be either the name of the singer or the duet, I have not decided this yet.
The light blue box below it represents the slogan I will be putting there, it will be something that will also be included in the interview. Below that there is another light blue box, here I will have an interview between me and my main model, and below that I will have other pictures of that, that will have something to do with the subject of
the interview.
This was my original plan for my double page spread, but I rethought my design and I feel it is breaking to many magazine conventions. I feel that the divide in the middle of the page will be a problem and if I was to use more than one model, they may get lost in where the page folds. So I have changed my ideas for my double page spread to look like this. This magazine cover follows the normal grid layout and is more conventional to a magazine. Although, I am going to try and make it more interesting, because I feel this is a more boring layout.




For the contents page, I am going to have a large box of text with pictures in side of it at different angles to make it more interesting. I will also write about the images. This is represented by the large blue box and the smaller purple boxes. The boxes to the right of it represent the bigger pictures that will have text underneath them explaining them. These pictures will be the bigger features with in the magazine.
