I decided to do a plan of what I imagine my front cover to look like, so that when it comes to placing all of my info together I already have an idea of what goes where. However I had two ideas an couldn't decide between them so I will have to decide what looks best when I have all the different parts together (e.g. photo, name, colour scheme, font..etc)
The Research
This was my first plan and I liked the way the feature stories were all on one side as this is something I haven't seen in any other music magazine I looked at. However that could cause a problem as it may be hard to recognise what genre of music it is if it differs from usual conventions of my chosen genre of Pop.
The second plan that I created followed the more common layout of a magazine, and the features on the front alternate sides with the main article/feature in the middle. This will hopefully inform members of my chosen target audience more, and may look neater compared to the other plan. However I will try them both out, if I haven't decided during production.
My Conclusion
From doing this task I feel more prepared to make and create my final product when every other aspect has also been decided. This will help me with my organisation nearer the time as I have a clear plan of what I need to do already. However a problem with this may be that I feel limited and don't experiment during production and this could mean my product is not the best it will be. To stop this from occurring I will ensure that I don't feel pressured or limited to stick to these plans completely and will allow myself to have freedom to move things around the the final product looks the best it can.
