Planning: Rough Designs

After making my templates and researching current music magazines I then drew up rough sketches of how I wanted my final pages to look. I know my final magazine will have to adapt from this to look more professional but I believe that this is a fairly accurate presentation of how I want my magazine to look. I have kept many of the conventions and developed some as my target audience are not at the age where they want to challenge conventions yet, so keeping the conventions is a much safer option when constructing my magazine.
