My Magazine layout

This is an idea of how I want my front cover of my magazine to look when it is finished. I have decided to put one of my photos on the front in the centre and I want it to be big so it stands out .

My Genre

The genre of my music magazine is Indie. I chose this because I like Indie style music and find it interesting. I have been researching Indie and found out that the term 'Indie music' is actually 'Independent music', but people shorten it and call it Indie. It follows a 'Do-it-yourself' approach to recording and publishing. In the UK, Indie music first came about in the 1950's and 1960's, and the UK Indie chart was first compiled in 1980. Independent labels have been known to strive for minimal influence on the artist they represent, avoiding the artist-cultivating behavior of many major labels.

Here are some artists i have chosen, who's style i am going to use in my own photos. I picked Lilly Allen as an artist i would use to decide what my actors will wear and what they will look like, I like her style, and I think she looks Indie. I also like her music.



I found this picture on google and i do not know who it is but I thought it looked quite indie and I like the style of clothes she is wearing, also the setting and the shot type is unusual. I think the checked blouse and skinny jeans look indie and something I might try with my actors.

Pixie Lott is another artist I found who looks stylish and is dressed in a casual indie way. I like the grey Blazer with patterned shorts, again i will experiment the blazer look with my friends who are going to be in my photos.

Deyes High Newsletter Analysis

This is my analysis of Deyes High School's newsletter, and I have picked out what could be done to improve it and to make it look more attractive and eye catching so more people will want to read it, I would not choose my magazine front cover to be white and black with very little detail as I do not believe anybody will find it interesting and it would not attract an audience.
