Masthead: The masthead of my magazine is placed in the top left hand side corner of my magazine, this is because when the audience look at the magazine the first side of the page they will look at will be the top left. I will also have it so that my masthead is behind my main image, but so the audience can still see it.
Main Image: The main image on my front cover will be spread across the whole page, this is so that the image is made clear to the audience, I have also placed it in front of the masthead so that the audience can understand the images importance and so they will recognise the band/ artist straight away once they look at the magazine. However things like the main sell line, enigma code, other sell lines, barcode and necessary information have been place in front of the main image so that the audience are able to see why the band/ artist is in the news and what other bands/ artists are also in the news and why.
Background Colours: I am using a white background because if I use any other bright colours it may draw the audiences attention away from the main image. Down at the bottom of the page I have made my other sell lines appear on a different background colour, this is to help the audience understand that they are a completely different story from the main story.
Main Sell Line and Enigma Code: The font I will be using for my main sell line on my magazine will be big and bold so that it stands out to the audience, the colour I will be using will either be black or red because they contrast well with a white background. It will be placed on the right hand side of the page. The enigma code will be placed just bellow the main sell line so that the audience know that the main sell line is more important. The font I will be using for the enigma code will also be bold but the size of it will be smaller and I will also be using the same colour as the main sell line.
Other sell lines: The other sell lines on my magazine are all located at the bottom of the page, this to let the audience know that they are not as important as the main sell line. I have used a red circle for the background with a small font but still bold. I have used a red circle so that the audience know that it is a completely different article compared to the main article.
Page Numbers and Article Titles: I have placed the page numbers and article titles down the left hand side of the page, this is because when the audience look at the page they are automatically drawn to the left hand side, this will allow them to find the article that they are looking for a lot faster and easier.
Image (Main Article): The main image for the main article will be located in the middle of page near the top, this is so the audience will know its importance. They will know it is important because it will be the only image on there so it will stand out more.
Information on Main Article: The information on the main article will be located directly below the image for the main article, this will tell them that it is not as important as the image for the article but still has an important role. Also with it been placed directly below the image the audience will know without even reading it what it is about.
Subscription Offer: The subscription off will be located at the bottom of the contents page. This is because it is the least important thing on the page because the audience don't want the magazine to have loads of advertisement, if it located at the bottom it looks separate from the topic of the magazine and wont confuse the audience.
Headline: The headline for my double page spread will be located in the middle of the page at the very top. this is so that the audience know that it is one of the most important things on the page. The headline will be in big bold letters so that it stands out more and so it will be the first thing the audience will see and therefore read, this means that if they like the band what the article is about they will want to read on.
Images: Both of the images i will be using on my double page spread will be located on the left hand side. This is because it will be the first thing they will see, and if they recognize the band/artist by their photos they will want to read the article about them.
Text: The text will be located on the right hand side of the double page spread because it is the last thing that the audience will want to look at. However by using a full page for the text shows that it is just as important as the images.
