Flat Plan: Double Page Spread

Colour Usage: I am going to use a black and white (monochrome) colour scheme for my double page spread, because it will match the costume of the model. The monochrome theme is classic and glamorous whilst also having contrasting colours. The background of the image will be white, because I am going to shoot it in a studio, therefore the page which contains the text will also be white to match. I would have the text in a black Times New Roman font because it's easy to read. 

Image Usage: The main image will be very strongly shot considering it takes up a full page. It will be a mid shot again like the front cover, this is because the reader will be able to see the make-up and style more closely which reflects the genre of my magazine. The camera angle will be direct for effect, I have not yet decided on the pose, but the cover star will be holding a record as a prop because it goes with the sixties/mod theme. The three images at the top of the second page will be a montage of shots, carefree of the cover star laughing and looking like she's having fun. 

Text Usage: Narrative voice will be quite informal, the use of swearing will be included but it will be quite conversation based, as if the person being interviewed is having a conversation. It is also appropriate for my chosen target audience to have a more conversational tone. For picture captions and my title and enigma code, I will include puns and alliterations. 

Layout and Font: The layout of the double page spread is balanced in the amount of images and text. I will use a simple for the small text, but for the title and enigma codes and also pull quotes I will use a different font which stands out. I have gone with the ideas of font that are stated on my design, although I will probably change the title font because they both look quite similar. I may put the title text on a slight diagonal so it stands out more, it also gives a quirky connotation. I will use drop caps at the start of the article to emphasise where the text begins. I could also use a watermark just like this example of Q below to give a different effect.
