Magazine Content- Idea update

Front Cover
Main image
For my main image i plan on featuring three models representing a female fronted band with one male band member. I will position the female models further forward than the male model to show how the females are the more superior characters within the band. One female model will be positioned in the middle of the page with her eyes facing forward to appear that they are looking at the reader. The other female model will be placed to the left of the "lead role" of the band, facing her and appearing to whisper in her ear while she looks over her hand at the reader. My singular male model will be on the right hand side of the female lead. In terms of the rule of thirds the two female roles will appear in a more superior position to the male role. The male role will be leaning in towards the female lead almost appearing to be listening in trying to hear what one is whispering to the other.

Masthead
Decided name for my magazine:
- Double Dare

I want my masthead to be all in capitals and in a distorted font. By having my masthead in a distorted font, it will link into the idea of the distorted guitars featured within the Pop-Punk genre. I will use a dark or muted colour to make the masthead stand out from the background of the image.

Colour Schemes

I plan on making my masthead orientate around royal blue, I also plan on featuring burgundy or maroon as a secondary colour on my front cover. I will alternate the colours for my main sell line, and will incorporate black and white into my colour scheme too, allowing a separation and to break away from having too much colour on my front cover.



Contents Page
Images
I plan on having two images on my contents page, one of my main feature which will be on my front cover and double page spread, and another of a secondary mentioned feature which will appear as a puff on my front cover.

colour scheme

layout
I plan on having my table of contents on the left hand side of the page so that when reading the page it is the first thing the reader will see. I will divide my table of contents into different categories to make it easier for the reader to find the articles they are looking for. The categories I will divide my contents page into will be News, Interviews, Features,  Reviews and Live events.

 Double Page Spread
 Images
I plan on using a high angle shot of my cover feature n my double page spread to show more of the band in the main image. I will also include small images of the band embedded in the text of the article. The main image will include dark costuming either similar to or the same as the front cover.

Drop Cap
I will include a drop cap, possibly in a colour which is included in my main colour scheme such as royal blue or even black.

Pull Quote
I plan on using a quote from my article as a pul quote which leaves some ambiguity to the context of the quote and will make the reader want to read the rest of the article.
