This document provides details on the layout and design of two music magazines. It describes the publishing company, editor, price, and distribution for each magazine. Both magazines use a band or artist as the main cover image. They include headlines, images, and quotes from bands. The contents pages list page numbers and brief descriptions. Interior pages feature additional images, introductions, and columns of text for articles. A double page spread in one magazine spans two pages with a large photo of a band being interviewed.

10. I think that these magazines will definitely influence
my magazine design. I will use an artist or band as
my main cover image, and the main headline will
be the title of the band. My Masthead will go on
top of my cover image so it is easier to read. My
contents page, will be arranged in columns, and
feature one main cover image of an artist, along
with smaller images to accompany page numbers.
My double page spread will have a main image of
a band or artist, spanning across both pages, and
the content will most likely be an interview with
the cover images model.
