flat plans

I have designed a flat plan for my front cover as it will help me when I come to constructing it and being able to show changes I have made at the end of this project. I have looked at codes and conventions of front covers took ideas from that and looked at my 3 main regional magazines and set this flat plan out the same way they are to stick with the main theme. I have used boxes to show features on the cover as i find this to be the easiest way to set out flat plans. I have an idea of what i want the main image to be, I want it to be full bleed and relating to my focus film.

 Here is a design for my contents page. It is fairly simplistic as most contents pages for regional magazines are, there isn't to much going on. To create synergy between my magazine and website I will be using the same style of bars to have my title on. I have created this flat plan to help me brain storm ideas for the lay out even if it isn't the final one. Now looking at other magazines I think i will change a few things on the contents page as I do no think it is played out well it doesn't look like everything is even.

I have create a DPS to practise lay out designs for my magazine, this may not be the end product but it is good to create lay outs to see which is best and which isn't suitable. I like this lay out as it fits in with regional magazines there is more than one image on the page and the image isn't a full bleed one. I do not want to include a full bleed image on this page as it would look to much like a national magazine and that isn't what I want. I will first write a draft for my article before I add it as I want it to all make sense and have correct spelling.

This is the flat plan for y website I designed using Microsoft Word. I chose to make a flat plan first to brain storm ideas and change them if needed. I think I like the main page of my website, I looked at The Tyne side cinema for reference and The customer house.

This will be one of my hyperlinked pages, It will be under Focus films, I looked at Tyne Side cinemas website to see what they put for their focus film "I, Daniel Blake" I think out of all the flat plans this is the one I am most unsure about as it does't look like a good article page. I think I will make a few changes and look at other film websites as well to gather information.

This hyperlink will be a news section, I decided to do a News section as it will be more interesting to do instead of a contact page or a screening time page, I like the way thesis set out and doing this will help me look at my flat plan and decided if I need to make changes or not.
