Flatplanning, which is a map of a magazine issue that shows where editorial and advertising pages will appear, is the heart of the entire production process. And, more than providing a living guide of the production, it ultimately decides how well your final product will attract, excite and retain your readers.

Flatplanning helped me plan the order of contents for the first issue. it was a quick way to rearrange contents and see how they would look on printed paper.
