Week 28: Sketches for my Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread

Below shows my initial sketches in colour for my Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread, these sketches show clearly how I plan to lay out my page for my student magazine.

Front Cover: This shows the main title at the top to the left hand side, with the website underneath the main title, the main image of a student in the centre which will become the background of front cover, with the header for the main article featured over top the image, the features shown on the front cover will also be placed over top the image. The colour scheme of the magazine is Red, as I am using different shades of red within the magazine.

Contents Page: This sketch shows the layout of my contents page and shows the main features within the magazine and there are images at the side of each feature and these images will have the page numbers for the feature at the bottom of the images. The reason why I decided to feature images alongside the features is because this is the layout which is used on the iPod touch and is how magazines are seen on there, with an image related to the story, therefore students will be familiar with the layout.

Double Page Spread: For my double page spread I am featuring an article on student life, I have decided to create a double page spread which is unusual and not just an article with a few images placed in between the text to break it up. Therefore I have decided to place the title in the middle of the double page spread and have images related to student life placed around this title, and the article itself written around the feature within the middle. I believe this is different and would appeal to students as the main title is within the middle of the page which is not usually seen within normal articles.
