Flat plans

I started to design the cover of music magazine. From analysis of rock music magazine, the young men who are upper or middle class is the most reader. So my target audience is the teenager boys who are upper and middle classes.


At first, there is a two different covers of magazine. One is the font of title is huge and it gives more impact than another one. Also the subtitle, which is the name of the band and what contents, is vertical writing and use capital letters. People see the camera and I would like to take their face seriously and cool. On the other hand, another one is quite different to first one. The title is wrote in longhand. The photo shot is close to their face and between them, there is a subtitle which is also wrote in longhand. Do you think which cover is suitable?

There is the flat plan of content page.

Two circles of this are the main articles of this magazine. The circle design is particular so that gives more impact and attractive when people see and read it. On the right side, there are small articles and advertisements. The reason why I design these one on the right is English read from left to right, so when people look something, they see the left side first by the mechanism of human biology. So I guess it is the best position to put the main article on left side.

I will explain about the flat plan of the double page on "Planning and evaluation of the article", because it shows more details.
