Sketch Thumbnails.

With the background writing being completed along over the next few weeks, I recently moved on to doing the drawing up of thumbnails and experimenting with layouts, arguably the most important bit of this brief, and I've scanned these in (because it makes my life easier).

The X's represent pictures whilst the grey lines represent type, with white spaces being white spaces, the first few I did were taken from existing magazines before I started coming up with ideas myself.

These were the few semi professional ones I tried, but I'm not sure I want quite so much white space on them.

I liked the three on the left and have decided to use those as my editorial (feature) page and double page spread.

I also liked the double page spread I'd done, although I was originally planning to just stick two normal pages together I decided to go with this.

The rest of the thumbnails were experimental once id come up with the layouts I liked.
