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

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.
