FRONT COVER
From my flat plans you can see that for my front cover I have chosen to cover the front page with a large image of an "artist". This will take up most of my front cover. My Brand logo will also be larger then some conventional magazines like NME or Q. But it is about the same size as Kerrang!s. Also for my front cover I am not having any main sells like a conventional magazine, instead I am going to rely on my bold image to sell my magazine. On my flat plan I have left room at the bottom for text which I might include. This would just be a small list or strap line of bands that my magazine will include, as they do on the front covers to NME and Kerrang! otherwise readers might not straight away guess the genre of music my magazine is. The image I will use for my front cover will be bright and colourful so that it appeals to my student/teen target audience. It will portray energy and fun but with an air of seriousness which relates to the genre of music my magazine is about. My barcode and price will go on the back of my magazine as I want the fornt to seel by just the image and look simplistic. I would then put the date and issue number on the spine of the magazine. This is different for a magzine but could confuse someone who was to pick it up in a shop.
CONTENTS
For my contents I will have Contents written in the same font as my brand logo aswell as the name of my magazine shortened to DD before it says Contents. I will then have a band index down the right hand side of my page. Then down the left hand side of my page I will have the contents of what my magazine includes with page numbers. The contents will be fairly vague but will tell you all the main articles and interviews in the magazine. The rest of the page is taken up by 3 images of a band. Over the top of these images will be some lyrics from one of their songs. The layout to this page is fairly similar to the contents of NME that I analysed but I will be using more images with less information.

For my double page spread I will be using two large images which are joined. These images will take up the whole page but there will be space down the middle for text or the interview. The title to the article will be central and there will be a quote from the interview running across the page. The two images I am using are my versions of the bands front covers. I am planning ot remake them in Photoshop.
I would also like to scan glitter or sequins into the corner of my double page spread to give it a unconventional twist, catching the readers attention.
