Style Sheet
A style sheet allows you to present your ideas for the key stylistic elements of your magazine quickly and simply.
It will help you organise your thoughts and ideas
It will allow others to see what you have planned
It will let you receive feedback on your magazine without having to make it
It should contain:
Examples of fonts you will use for your Masthead, cover lines and body copy
Examples of the kind of photography you will include – these can be found images for illustration purposes only
Examples of the colour scheme you expect to use in your magazine
Example style sheet
AS Media Studies 2010 4
This is a font the main body text will be written in.

Potential fonts for article headings
These are the types of images I will use. They are a mixture of live shots and high quality portraits

Flat plans
Flat plans are simple drawings of a page layout that show where the different text, picture and graphic elements will go on a page.
Flat plans give designers the chance to experiment with a wide variety of different layouts quickly and easily, before coming to a final decision on page layout.
They will allow you to experiment and try and find a layout you are happy with before going into production.
This helps to cut down on production time and leads to a product which has been clearly thought out.
