Magazine front cover stories and contents research + some story ideas

 Generally, with all magazines, an interview is featured with the artist featured on the front cover as the main image, and this information is usually displayed on the front beside the artist. As well as the main story, I shall include several other stories and features on the cover. Here are some that I came up with:

15 up-and-coming artists
Our exclusive interview with Kudos
ignorance is bliss...
The countdown of the greatest 10 acts over the last 10 years
PLUS - Oasis comeback? -  ed sheeran / Example - Super Chemical Bros.???
Albums - and lots of them! 

 I got a few of these story ideas from other music magazines such as Q, Kerrang! and NME, such as NME's 'greatest track of the last 15 years', which I used for my 'The countdown of the greatest 10 acts over the last 10 years'. Q always feature a lot of album reviews, and they usually show this on the front cover: '145 albums to discover', so I came up with 'Albums - and lots of them!'. 

With the PLUS section, I included some stories that I knew people would be interested in, such as an Oasis comeback. ed sheeran / Example makes people wonder what that story will be about, perhaps the two collaborating with each other, or working on an album together, and I made a witty pun about the chemical brothers, comparing them to Super Mario Bros. by calling them: Super Chemical Bros.
