My front cover inspiration is NME, especially these three magazines as they have a similar layout to what I want for my front cover. The have a large, dominant image with the band name as the main sell line. Their title is shorter than mine, so its only in the top left corner, whereas mine is a banner. The sub-heads are both above and below the main sell line, which

I like as it gives extra information about the article within. The extra titles are up the sides, around the dominant image which almost frames the artist in most circumstances.

I chose Mojo magazine as the inspiration for my contents page as I like the simplicity of the layout. The contents pages for NME, Kerrang or Rocksound are cluttered and,

although ordered, still look messy on first glance. In those contents pages there is too much to distract attention from the information, for example multiple images of bright

yellow headlines. In my opinion, the simple cover is better.

I chose these magazines as my inspiration for my double page spread. However, I am unsure as to whether they all come from the same magazine. The example on the right is from Kerrang!, made obvious by the logo in the top left corner. However, the others have no identifiable features. I like

these pages as they have a large dominant image, which attract the readers attention. I also like the mix of dark backgrounds and bright text. I also chose these as it is helpful to see how an existing

magazine would pose a single model, as many punk rock magazines show bands.
