The layout for my front cover, is generic for any magazine, with the model taking the majority of the page, slightly off center, to make room for cover stories and other additional elements to a front cover. I have decided to use a banner above my masthead to emphasise the fact that this edition of Alternation is a special edition, which helps with appealing to my target audience. I have used modern convention, with the inclusion of a QR code which also links to marketing my magazine to a modern audience, as well as simpler conventions, such as cover stories and lower banners, to help appeal to an older generation, who may be less familiarised with technology, or who simply want a traditional magazine, which helps to market my magazine to a wide target audience.
Contents Page
I took inspiration mainly from Kerrang!s contents page, by using its style of contents. However, due to consistency throughout my magazine and my house style, i modifies the layout by boxing the contents off to make my magazine unique. The area to the left is a blank space which incorporates enough room for pictures, relating to the stories written about in the contents. I have decided to box information off from each other to create clarity in my contents page, for ease of reading.
Double Page Spread
Following on with my house style, i have decided to use a similar layout to my contents page. I have done this by boxing off the main content, introduction, main image, and summary separately. I set the text out in a double page fashion, so the reader will read the introduction first, even though it is at the bottom of the first page.
