Origional flat plans

This is the plat plan for my front cover

Here I have placed the main image large and in the centre of the page. I have placed a number of hooks around the image in order to make it look as much like a conventional front cover as possible. I then also added a banner at the top of the page in order to draw in the attentions of potential buyers. Here is the flat plan for my contents page:

The reason I have kept the large fonts at the top is to keep with my house style. I have then placed all my stories in different signposted coloumns in order to keep it neat and tidy. I have added an editors letter in order to make it seem more authentic and used a number of images of different people in order to allow readers to see what else could have been in this article These are my flat plans for my feature article

I have kept to the typcal conventions of a magazine by keeping my text in columns. I have also added three images to keep the readers entertained, when also adding indented quotations in order to grab the attention of the readers.

Photos that I havent used

The reason that I have not ued this image is because you can see my models bra strap, and I didn't believe that this would be something that would make my final product look proffesional.

I have decided that I am not to use this image as my models eye's are closed. This means that the viewers can not see her eyes and it wouldnt look proffesional in a magazine.

I have decided that I am not goin to use this image as it is blury. This made the image poor and therefore would look unproffesional in a magazine.

Question type research

There are two types of questions that you can use which are open and closed.
Open questions are the ones that you don’t give them options. These questions are good when you know that there are going to be multiple answers of them. Or that it is going to be a question where you know that there is going to be an opinion included in there. For example, ‘What is your favourite band?’ or, ‘In your opinion, what colours attract you to a product?’ This means that people have a chance to expand on their answers.
Closed questions are better when you are looking for a particular answer to something. Or something where you can only have particular answers for. For example, ‘Are you male or Female?’ This means that you will only get the answers that you need. This is also the type of question where you are more than likely going to use a scale for.
