This is a clean version of my flatplan draft. As you can see, the overlook look of it is clean cut and sophisticated with little information on the front cover. I have done this because looking at my research and what my target audience links the genre indie-pop to a magazine (especially the front cover) that is not cluttered with information or teasers, coverlines etc works effectively to grab their attention. Along with this, the image appears black and white however I chose my feature colour to be a deep blue which is seen in the small graphic of the world along with the quote from the artist, the title of 'Features'. The lighting dots and 'V' will also be in the feature colour on the double page spread. 
I like how you didn't include any 'clutter' as it makes the magazine look more professional and simple, I feel like this makes it look bold which makes it stand out.
ReplyDeleteI really Like the simplicity of the pages they have an indie feel to them and are not overpowering yet still eye-catching. I think the themes between the pages could be stronger in order to create a link between them so they look like they are part of the same magazine. Overall I really like the pages and feel they have a good aesthetic.
ReplyDeleteI really like the layout and spacing for that elegant look and I also like that you thought of a main colour that runs through the whole thing as well.
ReplyDeleteI like that there is an overall simplistic look that makes the whole magazine idea look very professional. I can see that this is going to be an indie magazine because of the way you wrote the title but also the simple yet effective layout stands out to me as this specific genre.
