Contents - initial ideas.

I like the middle contents page from this website as I think that the burnt effect would look good in an indie magazine.
If I was to use a burned effect in my magazine I would make all around the edges look as if they had been burnt with a flame, I think this would give a really nice effect.
This style would also make the page eye-catching.
I would put a group picture of the band on the left, and to make it more effective I would make their background around them white to make it look as if they have broken though the page, I will make them do a certain pose in the photo-shoot to emphasise this.
