Total Guitar use a more unique approach with the layout of their images. Only two rows of texts are used, and more images are used to tell the story. The third row is replaced with a portrait image. The article uses quite dark images, and a white background behind the text to draw attention to the readers eye. They also use captions around the image used in the top right corner, this information is statistical with dates being used. The article very much focuses on the accoustic genre
For my magazine, I don't want to go for this image based approach, I feel the 'simple but effective' design attracts my audience better, where I will have an image on the left and article on the right. However, I will use a title large like this at the top of my article.
