Here you can clearly see that I have planned more on where everything is going to go using guide lines rather than what is going to be in it. The reason that I want the article text to be in 2 columns is because this breaks up the amount of content in what seems a far more reasonable text to read. If I have four columns on one page it would make it look like too much writing and might seem daunting.
As I comment on my flat plan, I am going to put feature image on the right hand page. This is because when someone flicks through a magazine, the first thing they are going to see clearly is every right hand page. So the large image is going to capture the reader's attention.
I would like the title to be a soft red in colour and a traditional type face. In doing research for type faces I have seen one (cambria math) that looks professional and clear looking and I think it would suit what I am trying to achieve nicely. I also want to use a traditional serif font for the article text, keeping with the conventions of classical music magazines. In analysing the double page spread from the Gramophone magazine of research I found that the grey scale portrait gave a more in depth view to the photo and maybe an even more serious look. Classical music magazine tend to be on the serious side of things most of the time so I think it would be a good idea to incorporate a black and white image into my double page spread.
Finally I plan to have a thin boarder around my article, this give the page a bit more character in my opinion. This is because it just finishes off putting everything in its place and make the whole presentation look neater. I got this inspiration form Gramophone magazine
