I placed the masthead at the top of the magazine cover so that it is the first thing the reader would notice, therefore they would recognise the company and what genre it focuses around. I would make the masthead bold, and a contrasting colour to the rest of the cover, so that it is prominent and noticeable, and not hidden by other aspects of the cover.
The main image would be in black and white, as they are contrasting colours, and it would be placed between the masthead and the coverlines/selling points at the bottom. It may be layered with quotes and other coverlines however they would be in a contrasting colour so they'd be easy to read. The main image would fit the genre and reflect the style of music so that it is relevant and so the reader may recognise the band/artist.
I would place more coverlines at the bottom of the magazine front cover with a plain background (e.g plain black with white writing) so that they stood out and were easily readable. I would place the bar code, date & issue number etc in the bottom right of the cover as this is where they are commonly found.
