TITLE:  INDIE-GO
FREQUENCY OF PUBLICATION: Monthly
PRICE: £2.99
DISTRUBUTION: News agents, music stores (HMV), supermarkets, WHSmiths.
RATIONALE: For my music magazine I will focus partly on my statistics (questionnaire results) and create my magazine around other peolpes interests of that stereo type.  I will only put in what I think will draw attention and interest fans into buying my magazine with my use of imagery, colours, interviews and reviews and also a freebie.
STYLE: Indie/rock style showing individuality, quirkiness and an alternative approach. Because I am creating this style of a music magazine I want it to reflect the particular scene. I am going to use an image which promotes this stereo type and a cover lines and quotes that show the indie/rock life style and attitude.
I am going to use red, yellow, black and white as my colour scheme because they stand out the most and are used alot in this particular genra of magazines. They are also unisex colours to relate to both sex.  my style of writing is going to be bold with my coverline and title having a slight creative twist to them.
