Flat plans: Second cover

This is my second flat plan. The layout is different from my previous flat plan, the brand logo is the same and takes the same appearance as my previous cover however, behind the logo there will be an image which will give the effect of broken glass. I chose this because i saw this behind the masterhead of a Kerrang magazine and i thought it was very effective because it symbolised danger and that is often linked with Rock. Next to the Brand logo there will be an image of an electric guitar because that is a very rock instrument and anyone who is in a band will be able to relate. Above the title i will have a strap line and the background for the strap line will be black, the same colour as the text of the brand logo. The writing in the tag line will be a continuous line of band names with a small dot in between each one to show the separation between the band names. I have chosen the tag line to go at the top of the magazine because people will see the title and if they are not sure what the magazine will be about they will be able to see that it will be featuring bands so therefore will be looking at music. On the left hand side i will have the main cells, i have put them in a column that will also have the same background colour as the tag line this will assure that the cover keeps the theme. people will also be able to see things more clearly if there is a pattern. All of the writing that will be against a black background will be written in white so that it can be easily read and will also stand out and catch peoples eye. The main image will be of two band members, one playing a guitar and the other one singing. They will be dressed in black clothing and have lots of black eye make up on. This will also link in with the theme of rock. The background will be white so that it will contrast with the main image. The main flash will be the band name and will be written across the image in a different colour writing so it will be eye catching and people will be more likely to read it if it brakes away from the usual theme because they will see it very clearly. At the bottom of the column on the left hand side will be a box that says 'Plus', this will be a small box that fits in with the column but will have a white background and black text, underneath the word plus will be the word free in red, bold writing and then underneath that will be a small image of a poster with the words poster written across it. Beside the image will be an other column going along the bottom of the magazine, this is very similar to my first flat plan but will contain extras that the magazine offers rather than main cells. The fonts on this page will differ, the headings on the main cells will be sans serif and the text underneath will be serif. The band names inside the strap line will be in bold and in sans serif. The rest of the text will be in the same pattern as the main flash, any headings will be in bold and sans serif and any surrounding text will be in serif.
