The document provides initial ideas and layout plans for a music magazine focused on indie artists. It includes sketches of the front cover featuring an indie artist, contents page with sections for features, news, and reviews, and a double page spread with an interview. Key elements are a main image of artist Hayley Woods on the front cover and contents page, two potential magazine names ("Index" and "Inde"), and using additional images of models portraying indie artists throughout the magazine.

1. Initial Ideas
E M I L Y G A U N T

2. IDEAS FOR MUSIC MAGAZINE
Indie
Main image on the
front cover will be of
an indie artist
The theme for this
magazine will link in with
the clothes that the
person on the front cover
is wearing, this will be in
the theme of the logo as
well which will be
Purple/Red/White/Black
Deciding on the
names , I have
chosen two that I
like I will then
decide which one
suits the magazine
best.
The two names that
I decided to chose
from are “INDEX”
and “INDE”
The layout of the magazine will be as
a typical music magazine. The image
will be centred in the middle of the
magazine, there will be cover
lines, pull quotes, a main title which
will be laid out as to not cover the
main image put be positioned
effectively around it. This will also be
laid out this way to keep the rule of
third.
The contents page
will have a column
at the side to the
left with the features
listed inside , then
below this box will
be the news box
this will list news
items , finally to the
right of the news
box will be the
reviews box which
will list the ;latest
reviews. All of the
articles, interviews..
etc. Will have page
numbers next to
them in a different
colour. This will
make them stand
out on the page
and easy for people
to navigate quickly
to the page.
For the double
page spread I will
have an array of
different images
however have one
main image which
be spread across
the two pages. This
will be of the person
who features as the
main image of the
contents page.
These are all factors
that I will consider
when I look at the
final plan for my
magazine and want
I think will best suit
the theme and
genre.

Image of Hayley Sunter
acting as the artist
Hayley Woods, wearing
a tartan dress red
lipstick, eye liner, a nose
ring and has dark hair
which is down and
slightly curly, her hair is
pushed up by her right
hand and she is looking
down away from the
camera. She will be the
main image one the
front cover. There will
also be counter image
of Sophie Purchon she
will be on a smaller
scale in between the
cover lines, she is
wearing a patterned
shirt, blue jeans and is
pointing towards the
camera.
The cover lines are
positioned down
the side of the
image and above
and below. They will
be of different size
fonts wont cover
the image.
The title will be
index and this will
be across the top of
the image. This will
be in a font which is
of a similar colour to
the rest of the fonts
however the X and
the end will
become a different
font as to make the
title stand out.
All of the images
which feature on
the front cover will
be original apart
from one which will
be the ticket at the
bottom of the
page, this is
because there were
no 2014/2013 tickets
which I could get
hold of in time to
photograph one.

5. CONTENTS PAGE
The main title for the
page will be
situated at the top
of the page, this will
also feature within
the box the
date, issue of the
magazine and the
link where the
audience can go to
look at the online
magazine and
social networking
sites. These will all
be white because
the box behind is
black so the writing
stands out.
There is three
boxes, one contains
features, one
contains news and
the other contains
reviews. These will
each have a variety
of different snippets
which will inform the
reader but no too
much that they
wont buy the
magazine.
The main image will be of Holly
Sheldon, she is acting as an
artist called Aimie Stones. She
will feature in the double page
spread and there will be an
interview between her and
the interviewer.
She will be standing against a
brick wall. She will be wearing
casual clothes as I want the
audience to relate to her, it’s
a medium shot where she is
looking away from the
camera like the artist on the
front cover. They will both look
away from the camera so it
engages the audience to
think why are they looking
away? What are they hiding
Running along the
bottom third of the
content page, there will
be a box which will
contain all different
indie artist names. I will
put this in because I feel
that it will attract the
audience when they
look at it because they
will recognise the other
artists.

7. DOUBLE PAGE
The title of the double
page spread will be
“stones is hitting this
new year with a
bang” this will be in
bold across the top of
the page, below it will
be a short
introduction to the
audience about the
artist and what the
article will be about .
There will be page numbers at each opposite end of the
magazine, these will both be arrows which point in the
direction of the next page.
The main image of the artist will be of the main artist that
featured on the contents page, this will be a medium long
shot which will show her in a different position to what she was
on the, I will use the same girl as the one on the contents
because I will use the article that she is featured in.
The interview will contain the information from both the
interviewer and the artist. This would be set out in columns and
the writing will go around the image.
