Initial Ideas for Rock Music Magazine

My initial ideas for the music magazine front cover:

• One main image (a new upcoming artist?)
• A new group?
• An artist going solo?
• Image should take up most of the page
• Mast Head should have less preference than the image, but still large
• Maximum of three other stories (as plugs)
• Secondary images around the main one?
• Cover line not in striking colours

Ideas for the contents page:

• Montage of images on one side
• OR image of the main artist with a strapline (annotating image)
• Contents plugs should take up half the page (other side to images)
• Cover line for main image too?
• Logo in the top corner of page, reflecting house style
• A separate list of specific features (e.g news, reviews)

Ideas for double-page spread:

• One or two main images
• One image should take up almost a full page?
• Cover line not too contrasting with images
• Few boxes of text over the images
• Quotations in large text?
• Smiilar style of fonts for all text, so easy to read (house style)
• Maximum of three columns of writing
