Distribution:Music shops, websites, supermarket, subscription, digital (eg. news stand on the

Rationale:This is going to contain current news updatesthrough the indie music industry and will

to win prizes or freebies with the magazine. This is going to be an original magazine to fill the indie
rock market where it is going to compete with other music magazine such as Q magazine, Kerrang

Style: The style will consist of recurring colour scheme throughout the magazine and will include
simple basic language to be clearly understood by my age range, this is so that the information that I
put are easily understood. I will layout the page in columns and breakdown the articles with
paragraphs and drop capitals. This makes it more inviting to read and makes it late daunting.
