Initial Ideas

I've decided to do an Indie magazine, because they have different codes and conventions to most other magazines, so it makes it more interesting. My audience will be targeted at 15-17 year olds who like indie music.

Layout for Contents page

this will be my contents page, however, I'm not going to use the pictures from the left section and the picture above the main image. I'm also going to have an editor's message and I'm going to move the top section, 'This Article Includes...', into the middle section.

Planning for Contents page

The articles in the magazine will be split into 5 groups, the groups are "We <3 Gossip!", "We <3 Music!", "What's done in the common room, stay in the common room!", "Articles from 'This Week Includes...'" and "Prizes &Comps", each group will have roughly 3 articles.

Some of the articles that will be on the magazine are... "Find out all about the Year 12 trip to Italy" "How to handle bullying" "Find out the top 20 most listened to songs played in the common room" "Exclusive pics of our 6th Formers trying to do the 'shuffle'!" "Someone in our 6th Form got through to Judges Houses on X Factor!" "WIN! A signed Dare To Dream book by 1D" "Beauty tips" "WIN! 100 IRIS points!" "I refused to go to 6th Form, if I don't get EMA!" "All the essentials you'll need for 6th Form!"
