Drafting and planning – influences

Here I found a magazine contents page from “kerrang” although kerrang is not related to my genre of music I still look at different magazines for ideas but more for layout then content. In my first draft for my music magazine the contents page is very similar to this one as this magazine has influenced me with the photography kept mostly in the top half with the text mainly in the second half beneath the photography. Having researched a wide range of music magazines I only saw this particular layout occur in kerrang which shows it is unique. I like this idea and I think with more research into my genre I can convert this idea and be successful.
