For my magazine I have decided that a simplistic view, commonly used by magazines like Esquire is the best one to take. This is because it doesn't give the reader to much to look at and can allow them to go straight to the point. This is why I have decided that for my front cover, my contents page and my double page spread I will have a single person on each page. On the front cover there will either be a series of pictures of the one artist or a solo picture of the artist, similar to the front covers on Esquire magazines. Both the pictures will be accompanied by cover lines.
On my contents page I will have my main image placed in an unusual fashion. To make sure that the reader will be interested in it. Around this image, in vertical columns I will then place the contents of my magazine. Instead of having a different image of the same person as on my front cover I am going to photograph a different artist for my contents page. As I will have used a boy on my front cover I will use a girl for my contents.
My double page spread will again have only one image but I will have it take up a whole page. Then I will have my writing in two or three columns on the other side of the image. Making it easy for the reader to relate the article back to the image. My front cover artist will be the feature of my double page spread.
