Layout Designs

Okay, so layout designs.
I have been thinking about these and i have many ideas, some that i can't get out of my head.To the right is my first idea of a front cover layout. The Masthead, however is my first design of it. The block colour behind the font is like Q's Masthead, but i added the detail of the tail of the j, dropping below the box. Overall, i think this layout will work. If i use a picture that will take up all of the front page and wont be to obstructed by the coverlines and the Masthead.
For a rough draft i think that this is working well. So far as i can see if i use these basic outlines then everything should fall into place when i start to assemble my magazine.




The picture on the right is my first layout design of my music magazine's contents page. I like the use of my masthead, but in a faded grey. It continues my magazines brand identity and makes use of the space above the contents.
Hopefully this layout will work. The pictures could be a shot of the new band that the main article is about, the other smaller picture could be another story.

These are very rough, and have no colour or definition, but when i am finished they will look amazing.

By the way, I'm no longer going to be doing weekly reviews like my action plan said. I takes up time that could be used to make this magazine better. I will be writing to talk about my magazine, but not in great length.
