Flat Plan for Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread

Front Cover

This is the flat plan for my front cover. I think that the main image should be of a person, perhaps a portrait of an artist because I think having a main visual point of interest would be the best thing for an art magazine. 

Contents Page

This is a rough plan of the contents page. It's quite basic and simple, but it is quite effective because it would also a lot of text. If I were to go with this plan, I would put the editor's note below the "Contents", and put a series of photos next to each other like a filmstrip. 

I developed the idea of the film strip a little more, so I came up with another idea for the contents page. I plan to insert images into the filmstrip, and the features/headings would be slightly slanted and diagonal to add some dynamic. 

Double Page Spread

I plan to have two columns of text with an alley separating them in-between. I wanted to include a pull quote (with text wrap) between the columns. The second page features a large image, with three other smaller images at the bottom. I also included page numbers.
