The document discusses layout designs for the magazine "Brighton On The Beach." It includes 3 front cover designs, 2 contents page designs, and 3 double page spread designs to provide a range of options. The front cover designs range from basic to more detailed, including pictures. The contents pages differ in complexity, with one having a large background picture. The double page spreads explore layouts with groupings of photos or a mix of large photos and text. Overall, the draft designs aim to test different styles before deciding on a final magazine format.

Brighton On The Beach

2. I have made some layout designs that I could base my magazine pages around, which
will give me an idea of where to start. I can always change and tweak my pages around if
I have a better idea that would be more effective.
I have aimed to make about 3 different styles of front covers, contents pages and double
page spreads in order to get enough of a range to work from and so I can develop my
ideas effectively. I will then decide how I want my magazine to look, and base my pages
against my drafts that I have created.

3. I made this front cover page which is very basic
as it is just a guideline that I can follow. I feel
that it gives me an idea of how I can set out my
front cover and what I would need to include
for the front of the magazine.

4. This cover is a little different to the first one, as I
have included 3 pictures at the side which would
give an insight of what is going to be in the
magazine. I feel that this is more interesting as
you would have an idea of what direction the
magazine will be going in, and what I will be able
to include in it.

5. This front cover shows a similar design to the
first, as I have made many boxes showing where
the coverlines and picture will go. I think that
keeping the front cover simple will be the way
forward because I do not want to over
complicate my magazine as it needs to be eye
catching and not confusing for the reader.

6. I produced another contents page in
which is quite simple, which would
consist of a large picture behind the
actual list of contents.

7. I have sketched out rough contents pages which I
could base my ideas on. I feel that this page would
be easy to make as there isn’t much to it, it is simple
and easy for the viewer to look at. However, I am
not keen on the style of the title and I would change
this if I were to go with this design for my contents
page.

8. I have made another contents page which is
more built up and has a lot more details
included in it. I feel that this has a more
structured feel to it, unlike the other contents
drafts. I like the way everything is set out nearly
as there will be no confusion when reading this
page, everything is separately spaced out.

9. I have made a rough sketch of what my
main double page spread could look
like. I would like to make a page filled
with photographs which would benefit
by showing off my photography skills. I
would then write about the photos on
the opposite page and explain what
the article is about.
TITLE OF ARTICLE

10. I produced another double page
spread which consists of two large
pictures and some writing which
would go underneath them. I feel
that this isn’t the best design that I
could base my work around because
it looks a little messy laid out like
this. I think that keeping the images
on one page would be a much better
approach as it would make more
sense.

11. I produced another double page
spread which has a simple first page
which consists of a large title which
fills a lot of the page. I think that it
would look good with an image
behind the text. I feel that there is
more room for the text on this
layout design because there is a long
column which would have room for
enough text.
