Flat Plans.

ii) Flat Plans.

When drawing the flat plans, i found out that having an image as the full background was a bit too much. Restarting, i sized down the image to the right side of the magazine. Fitting it centre right. This helped alot, because i was able to lay it out more presentable and it didn't just look packed all together.

To improve on my flat plan, which i should have taken notice on before i created my front page on Adobe was the date and price, which i didn't include. This is the most important part of the magazine. The audience knowing how much they are going to spend on the magazine and the date when it has been released and the date it ends.

I take notice that the flat plan is a draft but i could have included colour on it.

Originally i didn't have 'All aboard for freshers. Location: Honeyclub. Brighton. When: Wednesday. Time: 8.00pm to 12.00pm. Dress up.' After noticing there was a massive blank gap, i included it to fill it in, so that nothing looked out of place or bare. When creating it on the computer, i resized the fonts to make it bigger. Not only to fill in the blanks but so it appeals straight to the audience.

To emphasis the URL they were changed to a dark blue. Standing out from the rest, to show that they are URL's and not writing which has been written by me. I have also used Italics and Capital letters to make some of the writing to stand out.

The design choices stand out to the target audience because the writing is suited to the audience i am appealing to. Its mature. Which is needed to be done, because college students are becoming proper adults. The writing included on the front page also attracts to the students because its about events that are coming up. Which everybody talks about. Example; Freshers event.

I believe that the masthead also appeals to the target audience i am targetting it to. Its clear and its also bold and mature. Using different colours to allow the writing to stand out.

The main sells on the front page include in;

- Freshers Fayre.
- Freshers Events.
- Lewes results day.

These are big stories for the students because they include themselves or upcoming events which nobody stops talking about.

The contents page i believe could have held alot more onto it. The title could have been a bit bigger and a better font and the page could have been presented a bit better.

What i did like about the contents page was it had a different colour to the front page. Which would appeal more to the audience, because it wasn't just fixed with one colour. Also the list off different pages i thought i put enough there. Afterall, you didn't want to put too much in the magazine otherwise the students would get bored. Although, i could have included the numbers of the pages onto it.
