Flat Plan Draft

I created my flat plan based on two NME magazine covers, combining the two of them together. I kept the bright red in my masthead that is shown in the Lily Allen magazine cover, because I felt it was important to have a bright colour on the magazine cover. I used the same blue background that is used on the My Chemical Romance cover, because I think the blue makes the image stand out a lot more. I also wanted to have a stripe running across the top of the magazine, in which I could add features of what could be included in the magazine. I also had other features of the magazine all around the edge of the picture, because I wanted to fill up that space, as it was important for the magazine not to look to plain. It's not clear in the flat plan, but I also want an angle of gaze in the picture, because I think having an angle of gaze will attract people towards a magazine cover.
