Drafting & Planning - Billboard Magazine

I chose this magazine cover as it contains a good layout. There is not much negative space. I want my magazine to take a similar approach to this cover, as it includes all additional cover lines on the left and right of the main cover image.
And the cover image itself ncludes someone big in the vocal pop music industry and as it's a well-known magazine, it can afford to use some conventions differently e.g the main cover line is ABOVE the masthead.

I will use the same type of layout for my magazine and the colour scheme too. The layout of this magazine is one of the best msic covers I've seen as the ethos of the magazine and style of the cover artist is used in symbiosis.

Although my main aim for my magazine was to stray away from typical mainstream pop magazines, but I thought that the magazine 'We <3 Pop' is an amazing magazine, not for the content specifically, but the front cover is laid out in a way that I find inspiring.

I love how the masthead is slanted as it creates a modern twist. I don't particularly PERSONALLY like the colour scheme as I find it too carnivalesque and too busy to use ideas from but the layout is my favourite thing. The way that the column in the left-third appeals to the audience as it shows what is also included in the issue.

The cover image is my favourite as the background is plain but it uses blocking to show two members of different groups, and the cover line shows who's who.
The cover lines at the bottom include PUGS and PUFFS as they are included in the bottom right.
The barcode is hidden quite well next to the black and white dress and under the vivid pink text.

This magazine cover isn't the best 'We <3 Pop' cover but it's one I used as an example to show how I could incorporate some ideas into my tasks' design.
