My Music Magazine Investigations

I have been looking at the types of double-page spreads that are featured in magazines. I have come up with a list of 10 types that cover all articles I have seen in music magazines;

1. Album reviews (one main feature/new releases)
2. Artist interviews
3. News features (music related)
4. Artist features
5. Double-paged adverts
6. Non-Music news features
7. Q & A's
8. Live music reviews
9. Mail (fan mail)
10. Editorials

My First Thoughts:
 I have decided that my genre will be a rock magazine like KERRANG! or Rock Sound, because that is the type of music I am interested in and therefore I know what i would expect to see in a rock magazine.

The main image on my front cover will be a studio picture, because I think that gig pictures look better inside the magazine.

I haven't decided on an article yet for my double-page spread, but I have narrowed it down to two. It will either be an Artist Feature or an Artist Interview. I think that either will be the best type of article for me to write, because they are the articles i enjoy reading in magazines, and therefore I should be more successful when it comes to writing it. Also, I will be able to encorporate more studio styled pictures into it.
