The document provides details on the layout and content planned for the contents page of a magazine called "Indie-vidual". The right-hand page will feature a column listing featured band articles, including real and fictional bands, with brief descriptions. It will also include a large band photo and details of a weekly competition. The left-hand page will have up to 4 band/artist photos and columns for regular features in each issue, including songs, guitar tips, a debate club, and a gig/concert guide. Subscription information will be listed at the bottom.
1. Contents page text.
In this document I will be taking you through all of the text that I am
planning to use in my contents page for my magazine, “Indie-vidual”.
I thought before I take you through the text, I will explain the layout of my double
paged contents. On the right hand page, there will be a column for featured articles, a
large picture of a band and a competition at the bottom of the page.
For the features column, I am planning to use around 6 – 10 band names that will be
used as the main features for my magazine. Some of them will be fictional, others will
be real. Below is a list of these bands, their page numbers and whether they are real or
not.
Missing cat – Page 14 – Fictional.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Page 23 – Real.
Stornoway – page 34 – Real.
The 1975 – Page 41 – Real.
Two Door Cinema Club – Page 45 – Real.
Glastonbury Times – Page 52 – Fictional.
The Jacobeans – Page 67 – Fictional
Don Broco – Pagge 70 – Real.
As well as including their names, I will also be writing a brief synopsis of their article.
For example:
14 – MISSING CAT
The UK’s newest comedy band talk to Indie-Vidual.
As for the competition at the bottom of the page, not too little, but not too much text will be
used. I am going to write a brief description of what there is to win for the readers and how
they can apply for it.
I would imagine that it would look a little something like this.

On the left hand page, I will use up to 4 pictures of various artists and bands – Including my
own! Text wise, I will be creating a column on the far left hand side of the page that is titled –
“Regulars”. This is the column that will include things that are used in every single issue of
the magazine.
Below is a list of the regulars and their page numbers.
Top 10 songs of the month – Page 10
Danny Lewis’ guitar tips – Page 15
The debate club – Page 26
2. Up and coming – Page 33
Concert and gig guide – Page 46
At the bottom of the page, I will have a subscription section, where information on the
