Flat Plan Front Cover

This is my flat plan of my front cover. The title of my magazine is 'FAME' and it will be written in big bold letters(probably red) at the top of the magazine so it can clearly stand out from the main sells.

The strapline 'Britain's N0 1 pop magazine' will be above the title and it will be written in white letters on a pink background. I haven't decided what colour the background of the whole magazine will be but I'm thinking of light colours like yellow,pink or white. This will match with my audience(15 and above) style. Most of my main sells will be in bold black letters.

My main image will be of a blond girl as I've seen that most of the pop magazines use blond artists such as Britney Spears,Cristina Agilera, Lady Gaga.The hair colour will match with the light colours of my magazine.Also her clothes will be in darker colours so they can stand out from the light colours around the picture.I have decided not to put the image in the middle as most magazines have their artists just in the middle and I think it's quite boring. Above the main image there is a little circle which will show a bit of text about the prizes in my magazine.I am thinking of 'Win an I-pod' or something similar.

Most of my main sells are written in the left side of the magazine. They will be in different fonts but I haven't decided what fonts I am going to use yet. I have also put some of the main sells in a box to make them more eye-catching as they will be longer stories than the others.There are also some main sells in the right side of the magazine. One of it is written vertically. This will make my front cover look better.

The main flash is the first text written below the price and the date.I have realised that it has to be bigger as it has to be eye catching and my audience has to be interested in it. It is not written in enough big letters on my cover and it looks like another main sell. When I start doing my magazine I will change the size and the location of the main flash.

The bar code will be at the bottom right corner of the front cover. The price and the date will be under the title as there is a blank space.
