Music Magazine Front Cover Flat Plan 2

The following is my second design for the front. As you can see from the plan that is below, the masthead is on the top of the magazine which is your classical front cover design as many other magazines such as "Q" uses this design. Following the classical design, the main stories will be on the left third of the magazine which was influenced by the Newsagents so the main stories which will be the most enticing ones will be on the third left to catch the attention of the potential readers. Of course you have your standard magazine features like the bar code which is crucial of course in making my front cover and music magazine far more professional. Finally, the main image will be in the centre and be of the featured artist which is not only the classically technique but the most logical one because it attracts the attention of the reader the most as it is the first thing the reader will see and make the judgement to purchase the magazine based primarily on the main image. This design suits the target audience as it is both classic so the main message of the featured band gets conveyed easily enough and the magazine with the right colour scheme and images can still appear to be a indie/alternative music magazine so this design suits the target audience well enough.
