1. A flat plan is a simplistic version of
the layout in which I will follow for
my actual magazine production. I
have used various magazines such as
vibe and the king magazine to give
me ideas so that I am following the
typical conventions.

Flat planSocial media icons
At the very top of the page there
will be a masthead. This will be in a
large font and a distinctive font so
that it stands out from the rest of
the magazines.
There will be a few lead lines and
puffs, this gives the audience
abundance and choice and they
use this is to attract the audience in
to purchasing the magazine.
There will be and issue number to
let the store know what batch
number it is and a tagline .
The barcode will be there so that
the store can scan it, in order for
the transaction to be complete.
The main image will be stretched
across the page because it will be
the most important and will have
the biggest feature in the
magazine.
At the very top there will be
various artists names which will
attract the audience attention if
they see or recognise someone on
there, this also gives them
abundance because there is more
than one on there.
Tagline and issue number
The social media
icons/convergences, will be located
at the bottom of the page as it
doesn’t need that much attention
however it shows the audience that
we are up to date with social media
and that there is more than n way
to keep up with what is going on
for example via face book or twitter.
I will use some incentives so that it
gives the audience abundance and
from my questionnaire I found out
that my target audience enjoy
receiving gifts, vouchers and deals
etc.

Page number
Charts
There will be one image on the
contents page so that it is not
crowded and it follows the typical
conventions of a hip hop/r&b
magazine.
There will be features and page
numbers, this will be there so that
people can easily navigate to the
specific page that they want
without having to search page by
page which wastes valuable time.
On the right hand side there will be
charts this will be the top 10 songs
for that week from the online
voting system, this will keep the
readers that don’t use the online
website involved.
The words ‘contents’ at the very
top of the page on the left side.
This is there as a reminded.

introduction. Quote
I will set out my double page spread like this because it is easier to understand and it
looks good. It is also very typical of the type of interview that I am going to do.
