Draft of cover and double page spread

This is a draft of my double page spread. My focus group decided that they liked the layout with the text mainly on the one side and the main image on the other. However they would like to see one main image and several different images within the text of the artist playing or working.

They also liked my cover draft, they liked the idea of the scrap ripped up paper on the cover and I thought it would give it a rebellious touch to it. They also liked the thought of the artists name in a different colour to the rest of the page to make it stand out.

Final I have done a draft of what I think my content page will look like in InDesign. My focus group liked the style of the layout. They liked having the main article having the large image and the next main articles having smaller ones to point them out to the audience. They also like having feature sections so the readers can find what they want much quicker. Final they liked the idea of an artist index to name all the artists mentioned in one place so the readers can look through and see who is in it.
