Layout research on other music magazines for my music magazine

After looking at other music magazines for research, I had noticed that my music magazine didn't have the correct measurements compared to other professional magazines such as FADER and DIY. Because of my magazine having really out of proportion measurements, I decided to take a NME music magazine and measure the barcode, margins and other components on the music magazine.

The measurements which I took from the NME magazine, the margins on the front cover, double page spread and contents page were all 10mm. The barcode was 25mm in height and 35mm in width. The positioning of the title on the front cover is central but with the title of the music magazine being ENEMIES which was play on words with the NME music magazine, there was only 10mm either side of the title.

The measurements of my music magazine front cover is:

5mm margin on the front cover
Barcode was 10mm width by 20mm height
Title was 5mm fro either side in the middle of the page

The measurements of my music magazine double paged spread is:

5mm margin on the double page spread
Title of the page is 5mm in the central of the middle of the page

The measurements of my contents page is:

5mm margin on the contents page
Title was 5mm on either side with the title being in the middle
