This is a very basic sketch of how I plan to layout the front cover of my magazine. The logo/ mag name will be at the very top as this is a convention for every type of magazine and I don't plan to break that now. Underneath that will be the main feature image and article, via a picture of a band that I will edit to fill the space. I will use one of the five fonts I evaluated earlier for the band name underneath that image.
I will use various band images underneath the main image and to the side trying to give the magazine as wide an appeal as possible.
I have also decided to go with a color scheme of Green/Black/White and this will be evident on my magazine cover.
