After much research I have decided to make my magazine a mass market and have now changed my target audience. I have decided to make my magazine a rock/indie magazine. Here you see an issue of Q magazine. A main artist on the front of the magazine and not a band. This is what i will be doing for my magazine. The main image is of a solo artist but also shows bands. Q is a huge mass market magazine, Q is a great magazine to bass mine on. I changed my magazine style because the most recognised and successful magazines are magazines like Q (a mass market magazine) and also kerrang magazine ( a niche market in rock music). I have aimed my magazine at a mass market like Q which personal i think it gives more choice for the reader. I am aiming at an age between 16-30, this is a huge age size which is gives more freedom to put bands and musicians in my magazine and its expanding my audience. 
This is Q magazines contents page. Here it tells the reader about many bands and artist. This helps to put more information and much more detail on your double page spread and your contents page as seen here. I prefer the way the contents page is set out here. There is still a main image dominating the page but positioned on the right side of the page and the information positioned on the left side of the page. I will use this as a backbone for my contents page and take ideas and themes from it.
