Front Cover Layout 1
Here is my flat plan for a possible magazine cover, it is based on typical magazine conventions. The masthead is positioned at the top, which enables the reader to clearly read the name in a newspaper stand, and doesn't steal your attention from the central image.
The main cover line will be used to promote the main feature in the magazine. It will have relation to the main image, state the artists name and a quote. This will help entice people into buying the magazine.

In the centre of the magazine, I will place the main image of the artist. The picture will take up 85% of the page, and will act as a background for the surrounding text.
The puff will be layered over the main image, to give the illusion that a sticker has been added over the top. It will be used to advertise any freebies.
The barcode ( date, and issue number) will be placed on the bottom right corner of the magazine. This positioning enables this feature to be concealed, and will take up little space, because its such a minor feature.
At the very bottom of the magazine, I will display any additional cover lines, like the names of any other artists featured in the magazine.

Here is my alternative plan for my magazine cover. It has been based on one of my magazine case studies, Billboard. The masthead is positioned at the side, this enables the main image to be the centre of attention in the middle of the magazine.
The main image can be displayed a lot bigger in this flat plan. This layout can be used to create the representation that the artist is confident / diva, as other text is small and minimal in comparison.
The main cover line is displayed under the artist. The text can be written big, as it provides an introduction to the cover image.
Other cover lines will be placed in the top corner of the magazine. Shaped around the artists pose.
The barcode ( price and issue number ) will be placed on the bottom right corner again, so it doesn't take away from the centre image.
