Here is a flatplan for my final front cover. This has idea has changed from my 'XXL Magazine' style I hoped to do. I have already created the front cover on photoshop and I am pleased with the result. At first I thought the layout looked too 'busy' but I moved the coverlines around and changed the color scheme which then made my magazine cover looked better. However I do not feel that my magazine challenges forms and conventions of media products. During my research, I wanted to see if any other magazines had a similar layout to my current front cover and I found a few. OK Magazine's 'body and soul' special issue had a very close layout in comparison to mine. Despite me not taking any inspiration from OK Magazine. The positioning of the cover-lines and main image are very similar, even the use of banners are accurate. Most magazines that had this type of layout concern  celebrity fashion and gossip, although my product is a music magazine. I have also noticed that music magazines do not really 'cram' their front covers with text unlike most magazines. I feel as if i am drawing towards this.
