Flat Plan

After looking at my target demographic, I have thought about what will work well for my student magazine. I have tried to incorporate everything into my flat plan and I have decided that my magazine will be called 'succeed'. Here is my flat plan:

I have used lowercase lettering for the title and would like to use an image that shows a student with textbooks.
The part of the flat plan labelled 'background image' will be some greenery around the school, this main image will be of the student.
Overall I have tried to make the flat plan fairly detailed as I want my front cover to be quite bold but still informal.
