Upon further consideration and feedback, I have decided that the double spread article will be on the entire band instead of the main member or face of the band. It was also suggested to me that my cover page picture uses direct mode of address to express confidence, this will also help build a sort of conversation with the reader.
I have decided to have my main feature be a quickly emerging or upcoming artist with the cover lines focusing on already popular mainstream bands like Linkin Park, Paramore and Guns'N'Roses. This is because not only will it provide information on favourite artists but it will help the readers keep up to date with new arrivals and explore different music. I think this will attract my target audience as it creates a balance between their interests (just popular artists and new bands). Based on this , I've also decided to use a high angle shot for the cover page. Despite being not typical, I think it is suitable as it is reflective of the upcoming and still emerging nature of the band.
The focus group has also helped me decide the content of my double spread article, which will primarily focus on the band's success story and the struggles they faced to get to where they are. This will serve as an inspiration to many readers and would make the magazine more appealing. Based on the questionnaire results, it is appropriate for my magazine price to be around 3 pounds.
