Flat plans for college magazine

This is the image of a flat plan I made for my college magazine. I put the large image on the right because it is the main feature and in that position it is eye catching. The person will be looking directly at the camera. other main articles will be featured down the left hand side of the cover because that is where the eye looks first, so those important items will be noticed. The logo and magazine name will be clearly at the top in a familiar font so it is easily recognisable. I put the text about the image below it so it is clear that that is what it is about, and what it is linked to. The bar code and issue number is in the bottom left hand corner because only select members of the target audience will want to see these, and it is not a key feature in the selling of the magazine, and it isnt too eye catching where I have put it.

I chose to use this layout because I think that it is less boring than writing all the way down one side. I like that the images break up the text a bit, and I think that it helps they eye travel across the page a little bit easier.
