This is a rough plan for my double page spread. First I decided to use the same image as I used on the plan for my front cover. I thought about making the image small but then had the idea to make it fit the whole page. I put a small description about the band in the top corner and made black so it would match the theme.
Once i had done that, I thought about the opposite page. I didnt want to make the title anything fancy so I just made it what the page is actually about 'Exclusive Interviews'. I decided to keep the clolur of the title black because it matched the text on the opposite page. I wanted to put a border around the bottom of the page so I looked for a pattern to put around it. I eventually found a pattern but I wanted it in black and white so I edited it in Microsoft Fireworks and put it onto the page.
Once I had found all of the images I wanted, I thought about where I would place the headline and text. I decided to put the all of the text on the first page under the title but I wanted something to overlap the image on the opposite page, so I decided to put a headline over the image. I wanted the text to stand out on the page so I decided to put a border around the text.

Magazine Plan 3

This is my third magazine plan.
I decided to use a different image on this plan. To start I got rid of the background on the image so that I could put something else in the background. Once I had done that I made the image fit the whole page. I realised that the title of the magazine wouldnt fit across the top of the page without overlaping the image so I decided to split the title up into two (as you can).
After that I thought about the text I would put on the cover. I decided to keep the same headlines as before but I added some more detail to this one than the others. I added a list of features that are in the magazine and I decided to make them red because it matches the background.
For the background I had an idea from a previous magazine cover that I had looked at, I decided to go for a splattered paint look. Once I put the splattered paint image on the cover it looked to dark and you couldnt see the image of the band very clearly, so I decided to lighten it a little bit. Then the title would be visable. I also decided to put a bar of singers across the top of the front cover because that was another idea that I had spotted from another magazine front cover. In between each singer I decided to put a small star.

Magazine Plan 2

This is my second magazine idea. Again this is just a rough idea. I decided to change the background image and the colour of the title (because it matched the colour scheme of the image). I also decided to keep the headline for the band and put on another headline to see what it would look like. The final improvment i made was put a advert on the front (win an ipod) because I had an idea to do this a while ago. I think the only problem with this plan is that the background needs to be a certain colur because the band members faces nearly blend in with the background.

First Magazine Plan

This is the first front cover I have planned. This is just a rough idea and it is not finished. I decided to go follow my plan or the title and the background but then I thought about having 2 images in the bottom corners. I couldnt decide what images to have so I decided to put 2 images of 2 different guitars. I thought that they looked a bit plain so I decided to put an effect on them to make them look like a cartoon. I also decided to put a headline on the cover just to see what it would look like. The only small problem with this front cover is that the guitar in the left hand corner nearly overlaps one of the band member's face. Also obviously it needs some more features on it such as a mast head, more headlines etc.
