Magazine Feature - Planning

This is the planning for the feature of my music magazine on DJing. I positioned everything were I wanted it and allocated the right amount of space for my photos. I kept with the 'house style' of the masthead and made sure that was clearly in the top left hand corner like other magazines, as it creates a familiar, recognisable and consistent brand image. I made sure that the 'slug' was clear to hook the reader into the feature article and kept with the same coherency and colour scheme throughout the magazine. I wasn't yet sure what pictures were going to go where but I was certain the picture under the title was going to be a friendly, inviting picture of the artist in the feature. Whilst creating it I stuck with the general template of the plan but added another photo to the bottom and moved the 'pull quote' from the middle of the right hand page to the bottom on top of a photo as I realised there wasn't enough room for it.
