As a part of my music magazine process I knew straight away that the layout and composition of my conventions would be a significant part of my end result. I started out by researching some music magazines and I mainly focused on Billboard, and I took notes on what the positioning of the model was like in comparison to the texts and layout. I then went on to see what body positions look the best so I had an idea for when I went on and did my photoshoot. I decided a slightly right position on the page, following the rule of three in most conventions, would look the best. I then decided to sketch out some of my own flat plans to keep as a base and a starting point to where my music magazine cover would lead to. I have kept the barcode at the very bottom of the page in the right hand corner. I have also kept my kickers and cover lines along the left hand side so that the use of white space and image to text cohesion would be balanced with my main feature article image.
