Planning of what needs to be on the magazine, the name of the magazine, some of the sells and the different articles in the magazine, the mindmaps of the of the conclusions I came to after planning.
The flat plan for the front page will look something like this; the front page will have a large masthead that reads "POPTASTIC" with the tag line "pop the bubble" underneath. there will be a large image that has the two members of Mixture, they will be looking straight at the camera and smiling, this is to create a happy and friendly appeal to the magazine.
The main sells are the exclusive interview With the band Mixture. Also the "10 new styles in pop", "hot new gossip, the latest pop dramas", "celebrity best buys of last year", "xmas number one" and "up coming bands" these sells are meant to make the readers wan to find out what the rest of the articles say. The date of the issue, issue number, barcode, price, and magazine website all feature on the font page so that the reader can clearly see them.
The contents page is filled with a lot of the article details like the page numbers the articles are on. there will be a welcome message from the editor and a picture of the editor on the left hand side at the top. Underneath there will be some pictures from articles and the pages numbers they are on labeled on the images. In the bottom left hand corner there is a section that tells the reader that they can win tickets to see the singer Natalie, I have used this as when a reader sees the "Win" word they are drawn to it to see what they can win.
The main part of the contents is down the right hand side of the page, the magazine is split into 5 sections, these being; celebrity, fashion, music, you and extras. these will be colour coded to make it easier for the reader to find the section in the magazine they want to. beneath the contents section is the contact information for the magazine such as the fax, address and the telephone number. In the bottom right hand corner there is a page number.
The double page spread has on the left hand page 3 large images of the group Mixture, these images will be or the band at different times, they will have captions underneath that say a fact about the band or where the picture was taken. The subheading "Mix it up!" is a play on the band name.Around the images there will be the exclusive interview with Mixture.
On the right hand page there will be a large image of the band at an intimate gig that will have a caption under it. Beneath that on the bottom of the page there is a subheading "back stage" in this section of the page there will be 4 small images of the band from after a gig, in the dressing rooms and an image of when one winner went to meet Mixture. in the bottom right hand corner there is a page number.
