Magazine Mock - Templates

 This is the layout to my front cover first draft, as you can see the masthead will be displayed across the top of the front cover, the main image will be centred in the middle of the page because of the "wanting to be the centre of attention" representation of rap artists.. There will be sell lines, and several features displayed across the page and they have been placed in these set positions because of my research. There is also a barcode in the bottom right corner because this is where it is placed in every single magazine that I have researched.

 This is the layout for the double page spread, as you can see I have put the main image on the left page covering the majority of the page because this is how double page spreads are designed in magazines of my chosen genre. There is also a quote from the artist in the bottom left corner because this is also a recurring theme in rap magazine's. The main image will take up the page to make the artist the centre of attention which is a representation of the rap genre. The headline will be displayed across the top of the page, another image of the artist on the right of the article and the article will be started with a drop capital to make it more appealing.

This will be the contents page of my magazine, the design of the layout is basic because there is not much that is on a contents page; because it's only purpose is to reveal the content of the magazine. The main image will be of another artist and this will be to the left of the features, a drop capital of the first letter of the masthead will be behind the image. I got this idea through my research and think that it makes the design look more professional. Then to the right of the page will be the features that reveal the content of the magazine, lastly the contents headline will be in the top right of the page so it does not conflict with the main image.
