Flat Plan- front cover

This is the flat plan for my front cover. I decided to have a large central image as this is stereotypical of music magazines. Also from looking at my style models i decided to have my masthead in the left hand corner instead of the traditional layout where the mast head covers the top of the page. I think this gives my magazine a different look to others and will help it to stand out. The main text is on the left hand side below the mast head this is to give the cover some organisation, and make it easier for the audience to read. i decided that the head line would cover the bottom of the picture to capture the audiences attention, and to highlight the story behind the image.
