Front cover layout ideas

Front cover layout design

Here is a layout design I have created using Microsoft publisher. I was aiming for a organized, simplistic layout. The picture needed to stand out which  is why i decided to not cover any part of it with text, keeping the focus on the image. To represent the magazine, I decided to make the logo stand out rather then have a title by itself. Doing this I think it will catch the readers eye because of the design of the heading. The inspiration for this design came from this EMM magazine. The reason why is because i think the design layout of this front cover stands out well and it works well with the genre of music the magazine is aimed at.
