Flat plan for double page spread from Hannah Ould
My double page spread will have the article title at the top of the left hand page with a strap line underneath it. Underneath the article title will be the actual article. At the beginning of the article will be an intro/kicker with a drop cap at the start. Above the second column of the article will be two sub images. Each image will have a caption. The dominant image will take up the entire right hand page and above it will be a slug and a running head. There will be an anchor in this bottom right hand corner. There will be a byline underneath the anchor and dominant image. In the bottom left hand corner and the bottom right hand corner of the double page spread there will be page numbers. I was inspired by 'Top of the Pops', 'We Love Pop' and 'Teen Vogue'.The colour scheme will be the same as my contents page and the fonts will, also, be similar. The article title will be 'All's Fair in Love & War' - which will be written in three different fonts. 'All's Fair in' will be written in 'Olympic Branding from dafont.com, in light blue; 'Love' will be written in 'Thinking of Betty' from dafont.com in pink; '&' will be written in 'Bringshoot' from dafont.com in the same blue as 'All's Fair in'; 'War' will be written in 'Hollywood' in a lime green colour. The '&' will be smaller than 'Love' and 'War' so that they will instantly grab the audience’s attention and entice them to read the article. The 'Love' and 'War' will be in two different colours to show that they juxtapose each other.The strapline will say something like 'Boys, Love and a New Album. Oh My!' - this would be a reference to the Wizard of Oz quote "Lions and Tigers and Bears. Oh my!" This will be written in 'Olympic Branding', like some of the article title, and will be written in pink - as pink is a stereotypically girly colour.The article and intro/kicker will both be written in 'American Typewriter' in purple. The intro/kicker, however, will be written in a lighter purple than the rest of the article to make clear that this is the intro and not apart of the actual article. As well as this, it will be written in a slightly bigger font.I will have the anchor as a pull quote from the article - the part of the article with this quote in will be written in pink to draw it to the audience's attention. The anchor will be written in both 'Bringshoot' and 'Thinking of Betty' - so that it has a similar look to the article title. Key words from the pull quote will be written in different colours from the rest of the quote - likely to be pink and blue.The two sub images will be pictures taken from the models social media account (at least according to the article). They will likely be of the model and with someone else, who is mentioned in the article. Each sub images will have a caption, explaining what is happening in the image/who is in the image.The dominant image will be of my model, with a casual pose and a 'Chocolate Box' facial expression to show a fun side of the model and to try to convince the audience to read the article. My model will be wearing casual, girly clothes in pink and other girly colours. She will be wearing makeup but not too much and her hair will be quite natural - possibly curled. The image will be a full shot of her body and will be at eye-level so that she can make eye contact with the audience - to form a direct mode of address with them.The running head will contain a box with 'Article' written in - as is featured in 'Top of the Pops' articles. The box will be a light yellow and the font will be a bolder 'American Typewriter' in pink.The page numbers at the bottom of the page will be a similar style to the running head but the font won't be bold it will be normal.For language and register, I will be using a lot of internet slang and language that the target audience would use so that they can relate to the magazine and will identify with it. I will use abbreviations like OMG, BTW and TBH so that when the audience read it they will feel included as the article is catered towards them. The use of slang and abbreviations will make the audience feel like this is a language only they can understand, giving the magazine a sense of personality and privacy from other people.The dominant image is of the model leaning against a tree and looking into the distance. The lighting is natural lighting as it makes the whole magazine seem more authentic and the model seem more down-to-earth. The image is taken at eye-level as it shows that the model sees her fans as friends rather than fans – they are not beneath her. The fact that she will be looking to her left shows that she is reflecting on her past and draws the attention of the audience to the article. Due to the fact that she is leaning against a tree will imply that she can lean on her friends for support should she need to – as friendship is an important part of the article.
