Initial Plans for my magazine

Initial plans for my Magazine!
 For my magazine that I am going to create I am going to use different features for my magazine and these are: Price: £3.50 With the research that I have done I found that the price off the magazines that I chosen to research on the price varied between £2.20 and £4.99, so I decided to go in-between these to prices and go for £3.50. Frequency of publication: I have decided with the Frequency publication to have it Monthly as with the research I have done I could see that most of the magazines are published monthly. Issue size (number of pages): I went out of my way and bought a music magazine and I looked at how many pages it had and they have around 100 pages. So I have decided to base my Music magazine around 90-100 pages. Regular content: In the magazine that I bought I found out that the average and most common regular content that is contained in a music magazine is recent released albums, downloaded music, images, interviews etc. Feature articles: I have chosen to have the genre Indie music to be based on for my magazine. I chose this as it is the most popular magazine people tend to buy in the music genre of magazines.
