As a group, we have each individually created 1-2 drafts of how we believe our magazine cover should be laid out. We have stuck to the conventional layout techniques and have made annotations using media terminology.

MAGAZINE COVER PLAN 1
- The first plan clearly shows where each feature will be positioned on the cover
- The quirky shapes around the selling price and cover lines attract attention to the important features and storylines
- The left-third includes the masthead, the selling price, 2 cover lines and the magazine bar code. Keeping this information in this section of the magazine cover is important as the left-third is usually the only part of the cover that is visible when on the shelves.
- The main cover line is slightly slanted, emphasising the confusion and uncertainty of the storyline
- The magazine selling price is displayed twice to show off how affordable the issue really is
MAGAZINE COVER PLAN 2
- A variety of colours have been used to create a bright and attractive magazine display. Using vibrant colours also highlights key features and storylines
- Using question marks and exclamation points engages with the reader by asking them questions and promising them a juicy read
- The bold outlines used around the cover lines contribute towards the business of the page and the colourful display
- The colour red used in the masthead is a generic convention that is traditionally used in existing soap magazine covers (eg. What's on TV, TV choice, Soaplife, etc.)
