Flatplan Deconstruction

This is my flatplan:

 

 

This is the deconstruction:

When drafting my flatplan I looked at multiple different pop music magazines to get inspiration for my front cover. I liked a lot of elements from Top of the Pops magazine especially how the title went across the whole page. I also liked the idea of a range of posters in my magazine that were advertised on the front. From this front cover I also liked the picture under the masthead. I liked this because I think it adds more feature information without a load of text that covers the page. I also liked the Inside box on the Tulisa edition as I think it adds to the front cover.

I used We Love Pop as an inspiration as well because I liked the way Rihanna to the side of the magazine and not in the middle. I also liked how Katy Perry's name was across her so you knew that this was her and who she was. The last inspiration from We Love Pop is the fashion section in the left corner from the One Direction edition. I liked this because typically Pop magazines aren't just music so I wanted to add in a little fashion section too.

 I used Top of the Pop as an inspiration because I liked the look. I think splitting up the contents into categories looks good and less chaotic. I also liked how the title was on the left and not covering the whole page.

 

I also used We Love Pop because I liked the small images with captions around them. I think is effective because I think it explains what is inside the magazine without putting loads of words on the page. I also noticed that a little message from the editor was very popular and I liked it as it added a little personalisation to it . 

For my double page spread I used We Love Pop and another Pop magazine. In the Cher Lloyd version I liked how she took up a whole page and the article was on the other side. I also liked the pull quote at the top of the page. I haved tweeked this slightly by putting it above my artist instead but I still think it is effective.I also liked Selena's position in her magazine as I think it focused the magazine more on her and her article.
