Reasearch for my Music Magazine

For my music magazine i would like the genre to be like 'Q' or 'Drummer' magazine, something that's a bit edgy but has something that most audiences would like to read.

Drummer magazine is a soft rock magazine that could be classified as being in the Indie genre. I like this contents page because it has different pictures to show what page they are on which makes the contents easier to follow if you want to go look straight at your favourite band. The date at the top could also be important if you collect the magazine. I like the little details like the exclusive half on the picture and half on the part of the contents page explaining were the page is for the drummer in the picture even though in my opinion it doesn't give enough room to see the contents clearly enough. The numbers on the pictures its a good idea for my contents page. I like the theme of black, white and red because they all stand out from each other and are very bold on their own I hope to incorporate this into my magazine. The date of the issue coming out is on the mast head at the top of the page i think i will put mine like that in my contents page too. The idea of having 'Regulars' is quirky and i will defiantly have continuing features in my magazine. The box for the 'Regulars' is clever having it very bold and standing out in red, this helps the weekly/ monthly customer go straight to the sections they always read.
