-The artist I will feature in my magazine includes indie musician like: Lana Del Rey, The XX and Artic Monkey
-I will also focus on mainstream music as well, but these mainstream artists will only relate to the audience for example hip-hop musician like, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean & Yung Lean

Design features:

• House styles - 

-I will keep the house styles the same in my magazine cover, contents and DPS so the styles can be link; my magazine will looks organised and proficient
-I want an artistic but yet sophisticated layout, since my many indie scene tend to have an arty and classy background

• Colour Scheme -

-For the colour scheme, I will try to use different variety of colours; however it will be kept a minimum of 3 colours
-Analogous pastel colours

·         Other entertainment industry reviews like films reviews etc.

 

- I may also include some indie scene/settings, like urban street art or urban street photography; as indie scene tend to have  'artsy' backgrounds. 

Who are the target audience?

-Age 16-23

Distribution methods:

·         Apps & Electronic Brand extension: 
-Allow to extend the magazine brand

·         Online Publishing:

-We live in a generation where we can access the internet and wi-fi anywhere

-If you can't buy the magazine in store, you can read it online - accessible anywhere, like the train, bus etc.

Who might publish your magazine?

-IPC Media; not published any indie-genre magazine therefore it will be an good opportunity to be the first indie-genre magazine that’s publishing in one of the world's leading media companies.

-UK is known for their iconic 'indie' scene and famous indie artists/bands. This is a good opportunity to represent UK iconic music culture to the world, since IPC Media is known for their advertising solutions using different variety of platforms.

Pricing

-£3.99

-It's expensive than other music magazine; from my case studies most of indie magazine cost £3.99 or above, this is because most of their social grades is from ABC1 which suggest that most of them are wealthy enough to afford
