What i have learnt from my music magazines from my research!

Front Covers

• The masthead needs to be catchy and needs to fit the genre of music which you do for your magazine, the masthead needs to be the biggest text on the page and needs to be eye catching for the audience
• The color scheme needs to match- preferably having 3 colors which will give the magazine a neat look.
• Not too many subsidiary images, as the page could look messy and the main image needs to be the most eye catching.
• Not too many sell lines as you don't want to give too much information away.
• A footer line and header bar is needed.
• The main image needs to look professional and big as it's the most effective looking on the page; the main image also needs to relate to the splash.
