The Contents Page

Features

Your contents will be split into two main sections: regulars and features.Your features section still needs to be selling your magazine- think of it as a more detailed front cover. You need to decide if you are going to focus upon one main artist or if you are going to feature a number of them equally.

In my magazine I will be focussing on a number of different artists on the contents page but with the main image being that of 'Taboo' who are the cover stars and the main feature of the magazine.

Regular Features

You need to come up with a series of regular features that will appear in your magazine that relate directly to your musical genre. Use ones that are common and essential (e.g. reviews), but also try to include any new ones that you can think of that will make your magazine stand out (e.g. Smash Hits! printing of song lyrics is a good example of this).


In my magazine I will include regular reviews of recent gigs by bands fitting to the rock genre of the magazine. I will also use a feature each week to showcase a new band who may just be a small local band whom are gaining popularity which the magazine feature will aid. I will also use a weekly 'quiz' with a member of one of the bands usually featured in the magazine, this will be purely humerous and something for the readers and audience to engage with. I will also do album listings of CD's coming out in the future as well as reviews for the new releases of the week. There will also be a gig listing for across the country as well as free posters in the centre.
