Magazine Flatplans

This is my first magazine flat plan. This is one of the ways that I would like my final magazine cover to look like therefore when it comes to editing my magazine together I will have a clear idea of what I want to do. With both of the magazine flat plans I have followed codes and conventions that I have seen from other movie magazines. In both flatplans I have placed a strapline at the top of the page, this is a common convention of film magazines and I think that if included in mine it will make my movie magazine look a lot more professional. I have placed my masthead just underneath the strapline as this is also an important aspect of the movie magazine. The masthead will be the largest piece of writing on the page as I want it to be eye catching so that it is easily recognisable. In both magazine flatplans I have made sure that the main image is taking up the whole background as it will attract people to the magazine and it will also attract people to the film.
