Double Page Spread Flat Plan/ Rationale

Colour Usage: The colour again, will be the same as my front cover and contents page. I may consider a splash of colour within my double page spread to make the fashion elements more fun to the audience. I don't want my article to come across as dull, as I want the article to inspire the audience.
Image Usage: I will have two images for my double page spread; one of a female model, one of a male. This is so that the article will relate to both sexes. I want the poses of the models to be somewhat over-posed to grab the readers attention, maybe a indirect mode of address to add a sense of mystery; which will contrast with the text as the price of clothing will be displayed.
Text Usage: There will be limited text as I am wanting the main focus to be on the clothing, price and store names. This is because the article is somewhat advertising the new/trending fashion. There will be a brief description of 'style steals/inspirations' to keep the audience engaged.
Layout and Font: The layout will be simplistic with an image on either page and the writing down one side of the image. This is because it will look neat and professional, alike to my other pages. I really want the font to be the same as the contents page so that there isn't a massive difference in the design/theme. I feel that sometimes articles change dramatically but I want to try keep it the same throughout to give it a unique yet stylish feel.

Contents Page Flat Plan/ Rationale

Colour Usage: The colour for my contents page will be the same as my front colour. I want the colour scheme to be the same throughout my whole magazine to keep it professional. Also with my magazine genre being cultural, it is common for the theme to be kept the same, as I feel having a different colour for each page can come across somewhat negligent.
Image Usage: My images will be varied within the contents page; I will have images of gigs, skating, cars and other images from my models. This is because I want to show the audience what is available/advertised within my magazine through images, so that they don't actually have to read any words to get an idea of what is displayed. The images will all be taken by me and with some being taken by my phone camera, the quality may not be as good as the ones of my model. Therefore, I will use Photoshop to better the quality.
Text Usage; I will use little descriptions for each page title; this is to engage the reader and give off the effect of them wanting to turn to that page to read more. I'll use cliff hangers, and the use of hyperbole adjectives in order to create a sense of excitement for each topic. Again, engaging and making the reader want to find out more. The tag line will be on this page as I feel repetition will keep my magazine fresh in the readers mind and word of mouth will help advertise.
Layout and Font: The layout I am going for is sophisticated, likewise to the front cover. With it being a contents page it wont be as simple, but with my font style and organisation of conventions, I will avoid making it look overcrowded with information. I am hoping that by using varied images, it will help take the focus of the abundance of text underneath, making the reader still want to browse through my magazine.

Front Cover Flat Plan/Rationale

Colour Scheme; I am going to be using black, white and autumnal colours within my magazine. This is because I feel this will link with the genre of the magazine and it will make it look sophisticated and relate to the target audience/season it is for. I feel if I added bright colours, it'd give it a childish feel and not relate to my audience.
Image Usage: My dominant image will be of a model in either a professional studio or somewhere outdoors to give it more of a cultural vibe to it. I want the body language to be relaxed yet somewhat posed, but invites the reader in and doesn't intimidate them. I want a full body image of my model, and the costume to be autumnal; scarfs and layers.
Text Usage: I'm using an alliteration as my tag line, this is because it will be memorable to the readers. My sell lines will be short and easy to understand, so that the reader knows exactly what is advertised. The text will be limited so that the front cover looks somewhat bare, but is appealing to the reader.
Layout and Font: My layout is simple but effective; there will be little writing on the front cover, so that the main focus is on the model. The bar code/additional information will be displayed at the bottom so that it doesn't take focus away from the sell lines/dominant image.
