Draft designs for Funk music

We decided as a group that we're going to do a Funk music magazine. Here are 4 draft designs of 4 magazine house style ideas for our Funk music magazine. We chose this genre of music as it is unique and there is niche market for this which is 15-25 year olds, who are quite sociable and go out a lot. This genre is getting more popular as groups like N.E.R.D and Newboyz are growing. After researching the current market, we found out that there isn't a specific magazine for Funk music, so we thought it would be a good and original idea. This magazine can help promote Funk music and increase it's popularity also.
The four different house styles are quite different and each have an original look. We designed front covers, contents pages and double page spreads for each.
