Following the style of other indie music magazine such as NME, I needed to add far more coverlines. To do this I looked back at my 'ARTICLE IDEAS' brainstorm to gain some inspiration. I wanted too add coverlines that were personal and connected to theme of the magazine such as advertising music festivals and other features that were only exclusive to my magazine.
