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.
