Flat plans

(i need to scan the images in)

With the cover, i plan to make it look very busy and have some cartoon like effects (inspired off kerrang tv etc.) such as the lightening bolts coming off the amp. I have called my magzine feedback because it is an effect that happens on the guitar amp and is well known in this genre, also it does a lot of reviews and 'feedback' on albums and artists. I have also included the word 'exclusive' and 'free' in the cover to catch the eyes of readers. I am going to keep it quite a neutral, simple colour scheme but the actual content in the cover is going to make it look busy.

For the contents, i am going to write in a fairly small font and simply make it informative about where everything is in the magazine. I will have a featured and regulars section to make it easier to understand and quicker to get to where you want. I will also include an image like most other professional contents pages just to make it look more interesting. The descriptions of whats in the magazine will be quite brief however they will be more indepth than on the cover.

For the double page spread i will have on one page a large title and picture of the band with a quotation and then on the next i will have the full interview. I will have the image overlapping into the interview slightly to show they are together and to give it that 'ratty' feel to the magazine ( like in most metal magazines).
