Reference Magazines

Two reasons why I used this image as a reference is due to the fact that on one page there is two artists, which is conventional, works and helps to fill up the page. Most likely I am going to stick with having one cover star on the double page spread because I believe it looks better. Secondly the large bold quote with swear words in it covered with a couple aspheric

The reason why I chose this image was not because of the cover star of the layout of the title but because of where the column "Features" are situated, due to the fact that it is in one simple column and on a plain coloured background the text is clear to read, and fits on the page rather well.

These next few images are references of what I would like the outcome of my Front Cover, Contents Page and DPS.I chose this image off XXL because of the fact that the layout of the font is similar to mine, and when I am finished I feel that the layout of my front cover would look very similar to this, especially the featured artists in the background and the cover star in the foreground.
