The main purpose of a Flat Plan is so that the designer is able to produce a rough front cover of what they want their cover of their magazine to end up looking like. Flat plans are useful as you are bale to see what will the magazine will potentially look like and decide what aspects you prefer and like about your overall design as well as the aspects which you least favor. Flat plans also allow you to present and show your designs and format to a selected focus group (mine is students aged 16-18) this then enables them to give their opinions and ideas, and ways in which to improve your final design. A flat plan is made for each section of the magazine, this is beneficial to the editor who can then change and improve the appearence and content of the magazine.
This is the draft of my Front cover for my sixth form/college magazine "Achieve".
