Layout Plan Ideas

Layout plan is a simple line drawing that shows the structure of the magazine.

For the first one the main image is centre, so it takes up the whole page and all the other elements will overlap over it, the main image will be the main attraction so it takes up the whole page . The masthead is right at the top of the page so our attention is drawn straight to there so it is easily recognisable and identifiable. The cover lines are above the headline and they are on the left as that is where our eyes track to first naturally. The headline is underneath the cover lines so it stands out. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space and isn't very noticeable. There is a banner at the bottom of the page.

The second one is more simple as there are no cover lines so there is more attention on the main image and the headline. The masthead is at the top of the page so it easily recognisable. The headline is near the bottom of the image and will be over the top of the image. This is a good place to put the headline as it doesn't draw attention away from the main image. The bar code is still at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space and isn't very noticeable.

For the first one the masthead is at the top of the page so it is recognisable and stands out. The cover lines are above the headline on the right so main image and the headlines are the focus and the cover lines do not overtake them. There are also cover lines underneath the headline on the left so extra cover lines can be added. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space.

The second one has the masthead at the top again so it's recognisable. The headline is in the middle of the image, this headline will be saying what the image is about so it won't actually distract away from the image itself. The cover lines are underneath the headline and there is enough space for a lot of them. There is a banner at the bottom so more information can be added. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space.

For the first one the masthead is at the top of the page. The headline is at the top of the image so its different than just having it below the image. There is a starburst under the headline so it can feature extra information. The cover lines are underneath the headline and starburst on the right so people's attention is drawn to them. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space.

The second one has a masthead at the top so it is recognisable. There are no headlines or cover lines and the main image will be the central focus. This means the front cover heavily relies on the quality of the photography and the image itself has to tell the audience what it is about without words. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space. 

For the first one the masthead is at the top of the page so it is recognisable. The headline is at the top of the image and there are no cover lines so the page is still quite simple and the focus is on the image. However there is a banner at the bottom for information as there are no cover lines. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space.

The second one has a masthead at the top of the page so it is recognisable. There are two starbursts one above the headline on the right and one below the headline on the left. The headline is in the middle of the page and the coverlines are underneath the headline on the right. The bar code is at the bottom right and is small so it doesn't take up much space.
