I looked at other magazines to see what generic conventions they had and what I needed to do when I was planning the very basic layout of my magazine. You can see the images below:
On the front cover, I noticed the features that it included were:
- Masthead
-Slogan
-Puff
-Central Image
- Feature Article
- Barcode
- URL
- Cover lines
- Date + Publisher
On the contents page, I noted:
-Date
-Issue Number
- Contents list
- Lure
- Images
- Contents Title
On the article, I noticed:
- A dominant image
-The article
- An introduction/lead
- Pull quotes
- Title + page number
- Credits
- Anchorage
-Subimages
The billboard included:
- Company logo
- Additional information
- Dominant image
- Simple layout
- Slogan
The website used a:
- Simple layout
- Multiple articles
- Subscription
- Social media links
- Masthead
- Navigation Links
Having these allows me to create a checklist of sorts in regards to what I need on each page. When designing my layout, I know that I will need to include all of these features. I also made small notes on each individual feature. This will also help me when designing my products.
