Initial Plans for my magazine

For my magazine my price is going £3 and the frequency of publication will be monthly, my average issue sign is going to consist of 40 pages and there is going to be a regular content including album reviews, concert times, dates and ticket prices also juicy goss about the artist. Feature articles will include interviews with a specific band or artist each month.

Initial Ideas

The genre of my magazine is going to be Indie, I will base my magazine around a target audience of 16-25 and it will be based about North west indie bands/singers. The front cover will consist of a medium close up shot of a boy sitting down playing a guitar with the mese en scene being placed infront of a brick wall, and surrounded by records. My main inspiration for my magazine is going to be NME, but i will also look closely at Q and Uncut. Finally the name of my magazine is going to be INDIGO.
