Today i started brainstorming different names of my magazine.

Monday 24th November

Last week i was working on my own layout for my magazine
I have drawn out a rough draft of about 58 of the pages. This give me an idea of how my magazine would pan out and look on a larger scale then just a two page spread.


Unfortunately the scanner was too small to do the A3 sheet in one this is why it is split into two parts.

For the past few weeks i have been focusing on my planning section this is why i haven't written anything on my blog. I have started looking at layout and grid system for my magazine. The grid system is used inside magazines because the front cover has its own conventions. 

Different magazines has different grid systems which contribute to their house style. For example Q uses the 3 grid system for many of its pages. 

This is an example from Q October 2008. I have drawn the grid system onto the page to show how it works. The arrows in between the text are called alleys. I have shown with the black box with a cross through it that this would stand out too much because it doesn't go with the rest of the page. 

Most magazines do a detailed layout for their whole magazines this helps the magazine keep to a house style and to see the bigger picture on how the magazine will turn out.

This is an example i found. This magazine has no text it just as photos.
