4. GENRE
• The genre I chose to make this magazine on is Indie
• The genres focuses more on creating their music
independently, without major influence from others
• This magazine is more about what kind of sound and
music the band wants to take instead of the consumer.
• Another reason I'm choosing this genre is because it did
originate from London so it wouldn't be too hard to find
artists to feature in the magazine.

of an artist being featured with their name.
On the bottom of the magazine there will a link to the website and
