Does my layout match my flat plan?

As you can see here is my flat plan front cover and my final front cover. You can immediately spot how I have changed things and how my flat plan has helped me as it was a base or even a starter.
You can tell straight away that the model's position is not as I expected as firstly, my task was to take a mid shot of the model and secondly, over many shots this was the best. However, I have kept the base of having a history book the same as the model takes the subject as well as being passionate towards it. My mast head is also very obviously different as I initially was going to have it named 'Passion' however after talking to my teacher about it, it didn't really go as time went on therefore I decided to change it to 'Flourish' which fit the front cover much better and overall looked great.

After adding in the things I planned such as the 'Exclusive Interview' and Model's quote I began to think of new things to add and make my magazine less boring. I started to thing about the font's colour as well as making one font bolder than another to stand out and correlate. I also went on to thinking about other things that may seem more interesting and less about studying such as fashion! I thought of many new ideas along the way which was quite hard at first but became easier as days went on.
I also initially wanted a graphic to draw the readers attention, I included one but not in a star shaped as planned. I changed it to a circle as I personally thought it was simple but bold as well as going well with my cover.

Overall my layout was a base to begin with and supported me however I have changed many things along the way such as the main conventions; the model and mast head. This suggests my layout does not match my flat plan entirely but isn't completely different.
