Worksheets // Publication Layout

I needed to work out by hand the order and the potential layout of the pages of the first publication so that I don't get confused. Publication design is something that is new to me, I have done layout before in the type module in my second year but this is something new!

I have decided to keep the pages simple and for each of the featured artists / producers I am going to have 3 double page spreads on them

1. Introduction page on them - large scale photo, their name, a quote about or from them
2. Biography, track listing and discography. The track listing will just feature the best of the songs
3. Selected parts from the different interviews; I am going to combine the interviews I found for each of the artists and take the best bits from each, just as long as it makes sense!

I drew quick sketches of the different formats that I could use for the magazine but I thnk that I am going to use the a5 portrait format for at least two of the publications, and I thought that for the dj's / producers who I couldn't find much information on and who I really want to feature (like Bit Funk) I would use a slightly different format, portrait A4 size but the half the width. I will have to print it out and see weather this actually works, if not then I will just include more photographs and make it more typographic based and focusing on the tracks and discography rather than written content about them.
