Publication Plan
Title: AIM (All Indie Music)
Positioning Statement: Outstanding Music.
Frequency of Publication: Monthly
Price: £3.00
Distribution: Newsagents and Supermarkets; Music shops (HMV etc.), Gigs, Online
Rationale: The approach for this music magazine is to emphasise the style of Indie music in a way that the fans would appreciate. We will offer a vast range of interviews, reviews and articles and focus on up and coming tours and festivals that various bands and artists will be attending.
Style: The magazine will be informal, with sarcasm, humour and offer a wide variety of artists’ opinions. The magazine is for Indie music fans, so will use a unique but simple vocabulary and syntax following an individual style of writing and presentation, with slang to make the reader feel more involved.

Rough Layout of Front Cover
This is my rough layout of what I would hope my magazine front cover to look like.
Preliminary Exercise
Plans for Front Cover
To ensure that the front cover of my school magazine would attract the audiences attention I needed to create a catchy and short title for it. After brainstorming a few ideas about school life I came up with the title 'Report'. I think that it anchors well to the fact that the magazine will be a collection of events that have happened throughout that school term and will also include sporting reports, and a variety of others.
Below is a picture of the brainstorm I created.
In my plans I decided that the mise-en-scene of my magazine would be a medium close up of an external sixth former, with the background images being the mural that is located in the main foyer of the school. When I went to take the picture and placed the student in front of the mural my model did not stand out. So I then changed my mind and decided to use a brick wall as my background image this then helped the student stand out to the reader.
Finally the last ideas for the front cover of my school magazine was a masthead and coverlines. The masthead had to anchor into the main story that would appear in my magazine so I chose 'Welcome to Weatherhead' this welcomes the reader to this addition of the magazine and also link to the fact a new student has enrolled into Weatherhead.
I chose to do a total of 5 coverlines, this gives a variety of different things to look at on my front cover and also what to read inside of the magazine.

Introduction
I am a year 12 student at Weatherhead High School Media Arts College, and i chose to take media as an AS for my first year. I was given a brief to follow for my coursework that would inlude a preliminary exercise, learning to use DTP and an image manipulation programme. Produce a School/College magazine front cover, that includes my own photography of a student in medium close-up as well as some appropriately laid out text and a masthead.
For my main task I must also produce the front page, contents and double page spread of a brand new music magazine.
