My music magazine ideas

Layout of Front Cover

Too crowded layout, doesn’t follow the rule of 3,

Would want to have a similar layout to this, with the photograph central of the stage

Very Similar to the layout I would want for my music magazine

Layout of Contents

I would like to have the same layout of the contents page as this, with different colours of the topic headers and a different font to suit my genre of music. I like the idea of having the contents down the left, a full length photo in the middle and 3 small photos with the page number on the right.

Layout of Double page Spread

I want one side to be filled with one photo that covers the 1st side of the double page spread.

I also want the supplementary images that reflect Polaroids in my double page spread article with the photo on one of the sides.

I want a large font for the title of the article

I also want 2 columns with a drop capital.

RnB magazine
