First draft of my magazine.

Here are my drafts of the front cover, contents page and double page spread..
My front cover has a dark background, but when the matches will be lit, features of the girls faces will stand out. I have included a range of stories on the front cover, and also a chance to win 'Stoked! Festival tickets' as a reward for readers. I have decided I will still have the album names at the bottom right, but no photos, as they will draw the attention away from the main picture.
My contents page has a grid style, the background is plain but will look more interesting when the photos are on the contents. The font is similar to my logo, to keep up with the housestyle. The feature for the 'festival' will have a logo which I will make, and photos that I took from a festival that I went to, making sure that I don't include any logos of the festival.
The 6 main features will be:
-The Main Story about 'The Fires'
-Stoked! Festival Tickets (festival photos and logo)
-2011: The Return Of Rock To The Charts? (model by amp)
-Natalia Himal: The Latest Indie Sensation (photo of model in field)
-Indie Style Clothing Brand feature (photos of clothes/models)
-Regulars (posters,letters,reviews, also info on subscription)
My double page spread will have an eroded black background, I will look into using Photoshop for the background. The title will be in the same style font as the magazine logo and will either say 'Girls In The Fire' which refers to a Pendulum song which are a band that feature in rock/d+b genres. There will be a large long shot photo under the title, and the main body text will start underneath the photo and carry on on the next page. Text will overlap the photos and I will use an interesting graphology to make it look more exciting.
