Based on my research I noticed than most main stream and known music magazines always have big images which dominate across the page. The image which is either on the bottom left or top right. The body text is mainly on the opposite side or underneath the image. The image is never centred with the body text around it. The font is a simple but effective, with the simple colour of black or white. This allows the image to stand out as well as the font.

The research helped me to decide where to put my image and place by body text. In my First Draft you can see the image is on the top right with the body text placed around it. Also my double page spread follows the conventions as it has page number, Drop Cap etc.
