Music Magazine: Front Cover Idea

This is my initial idea for the front cover of my music magazine, the header will be right at the top and will essentially say something about the magazine and will hopefully catch the audience's eye. (The footer has a similar job). The main image will be of the artist and is directly in the middle of the page and the biggest part on the magazine. Firstly because that month is all about them. Secondly to show who people should look out for in the future. My masthead is also one of the largest things on the magazine, this is so people can clearly see what the magazine is called and so it can stand out on a shelf which contains lots of magazines. Also on my front cover is the artist's name. This is because he is new to the industry and not many people will know him. In addition I have cover lines which hint about what's inside the magazine as this will help people understand if they will like this magazine or not, also a section which gives some facts about the artist which could result in the audience relating to the artist, plus this will help the to understand the artist a bit more.
