Flat Plans

These are my flat plans. As you can see I want too have a large masthead across the top of my magazine to catch the readers eye. This is one of the conventions that I am very certain of. I think I want just a headshot of my artist looking directly at the camera with an angry expression as on all rap magazines I have researched the artists look angry. The name of the artist right underneath the image with the features running along the right of the page.

For my contents I want four different images inside one large square. Typically rap magazines have one large picture however I feel to challenge this convention by going with something different as I feel having a variety of pictures will attract the reader more than having just one. I will also have my text going down one column in my contents page as this is a prominent feature in rap magazines rather than having many columns.

With my double page spread I want too have a large picture of my artist on the left of the page with my text taking up all the space on the right. The    masthead will go across the top of the page and the interviewer and artist will be separated by different colours to symbolise who is who. I think I want the colour of my double page spread to be black however I am not too sure at this point in time.
