2. Research...
•I made asked my target
audience a lot of questions to
make sure the content and
the appearance of my
magazine would suit my
target audience
•I checked other indie
magazines to make sure I was
following the codes and
conventions of indie
magazines
•I went on Google and
searched indie bands that are
popular across the UK, as my
magazine is going to be
nation-wide.
3. Images, Content...
The images and content I
used attract my
audience, as they are
articles and pictures of
indie bands.
I asked my target audience who
they would like to read articles
about and the bands/singers
they said, I have put into my
content.
4. Colour, price and
layout...
•Red, white and black are the 3 main
colours that are on indie
magazines, such as Q, NME and Uncut.
Since they are the best selling indie
magazines in UK, I thought it would be
best for me to use the same colours, as
clearly the colours attract my audience.
•I made my price £2.99, as it is the same
price as Q
•I used a similar layout to Q, as it is a
simple, but effective layout. I didn’t
want to totally copy it, as that wouldn’t
be classed as making my own
magazine, it would be copying.
