Mode of Address
In my magazine I am aiming to write information in a combination of formal and informal language, for example when a lead singer is talking about their new album I will allow ‘slang’ words and text speech but the rest well be in standard English so that it is understandable.
Furthermore, I plan to use exclamation marks to excite the reader and the use of ellipsis and quotes to lure the reader in. I feel that this will target a younger audience which is what I am trying to achieve.

I used the website Dafont to find myself a font to use for my Masthead. For the rest of the writing I will choose to use the Calibri font as I feel it is clear to read.
I decided to choose this one as it is simple and easy to read and due to the large font I feel it will stand out well.
Fonts
I decided to deliberately spell Indie like INDI to give this unique feel also making this font larger than the rest.

Use of Flashes
I do not think I will use many different types of flashes and shapes on my Front cover of my magazine. I will use a circle to put information in giving a smooth chilled out feel which will attract to the Indie genre.

Use of Colours
These are the colours I have decided to use for my Front cover of my magazine. As I am attracting a young audience who enjoy listening to Indie music I feel that these colours connect to my audience. These colours gives a feel of originality and difference and would appeal more to a male audience.

•I used Photoshop to edit my image for the front cover to give the picture a stronger look to it.
•First of all I unsharpened the mask then adjusted the levels then changed the brightness and contrast.

Then I used the magic wand to click on the wall so I could change the colour to purple. I feel that this colour seems better and gives off a deeper atmosphere.

Final Version
I have decided to make my magazine in a squared shape, a similar size to a CD album but larger. I have chosen to do this because the aim of my magazine is all about latest releases on new albums so I feel this will link well and the readers will understand what my magazine is all about when picking it out from the shelves.

Use of Flashes
I do not think I will use many different types of flashes and shapes on my Contents Page of my magazine. I will use a rectangle to put text in this giving a rigid ‘cool’ feel which will attract to the Indie genre.

Use of Colours
These are the colours I have decided to use for my Contents Page of my magazine. I want to use the same colours as the Front Cover to show a connection throughout my magazine. As I am attracting a young audience who enjoy listening to Indie music I feel that these colours connect to my audience.

I used a circular template to create a CD shape, however I made a mistake by keeping white bits on the left side.
So I adjusted the template so I could get the image in the CD only.

I then cut the CD to give this broken look to it.
Finally I have given this blurry effect at the end of the CD to make it a stronger image. Also I placed a small white circle in the middle to make it look more like a CD.

Final VersionContinuing on from the Front Cover, my Contents Page is square shaped as well. So when opening this page, I want it to feel as if your opening a real CD album as I have a Broken CD in the contents page giving a scruffy feel which will appeal to the young Indie audience. By giving this effect like a real CD album this will give a sense to the reader that this magazine will be about albums.

Final Version
Continuing on from the Contents Page, my Double Page Spread is square shaped as well to give this opening up an actual album feel.
I have used a similar layout to this double page spread as we are both appealing to the same genre.
