Front Cover 3

To try and express a more rebellious nature that is accustomed with the modern teenage stereotype in my music magazine, I have turned to Kerrang for inspiration. The lead singer of Paramore, Hayley Williams. In this magazine the singer gives an authorative stance to show that she's in control. Someone who has only seen the magazine at a glance and doesn't know the band Paramore, would not know that the model on the front is actually the lead singer of a band. If I were to have a band as my central focus on my magazine, I would also like to have a focus on the lead singer. I would put the focus on the lead singer by using the article, the slogan and the positioning of the singer.

Next I would like to use the convention that they've used at the very top of the magzine. The additional list of Bands that are mentioned in the magazine, but their stories aren't big enough to be featured in big plugs on the front. This isn't a convention that is strictly to Kerrang. It seems that all magzines have this section, from Kerrang to Q to We Love Pop. As it is an Industry standard convention, it would seem foolish to not have this convention at the top of my Front Cover.
