Plan for music magazine

We wish to call my music magazine 'Music Matters' and it is going to be a magazine to highlight the best artists, albums and singles of the year and to showcase any up-and-coming artists. On the front cover we are going to have a medium close up of our model either singing or playing the guitar and this is going to fill the whole page of my front cover. We want to have the colour scheme as white and red, providing that it works with the lighting of the image we select.

On the contents page we plan to have a dull back ground but then have small images inserted in among the text as references to different articles in the magazine. Again, the colour scheme will be white and red.
Some of the stories we will put on the contents page are;

• the latest up and coming artists 
• top 10 albums of 2012 
• what to look out for in 2013 
• introducing George Stroud 
• the best selling records of 2013 so far 

The double page spread will have an image over the left page and then have a headline on the right. The right will also have an image taking up 1/4 of the page and then have text working around it. The story we will be putting on the double page spread is 'introducing George Stroud' and it will be about George, an artist to look out for in the future.

(Myself and Madeleine Griffin are producing the same final piece so this post will be situated on both our blogs)
