3. There are a growing number of people that
enjoy the nature of indie music, and they
appear to be quite open minded about who
they like because of their individual traits. For
this reason, you could put a range of different
people on the cover of the magazine and they
wouldn’t be prejudiced or assume anything
about the artist
This gave me the freedom to choose whoever
I liked, and in the end I went with a band
consisting of three white British teenagers
