How will I make my magazine effective?

To make my magazine effective I will:

• Ensure page numbers are used appropriately
• Use multimedia platforms (e.g. a website)
• Use 'Buzz words' on my contents page
• Ensure my cover is not too cluttered but no dead space is visible
• Ensure my cover has a clear layout
• Make the contents page attractive and have at least three pictures visible on the page
• Use size 11-12 font through out my magazine to make it aesthetically pleasing
• Have a message from the editor on my contents page
• Have section headings for my stories in my magazine
• Make my article has brief paragraphs and is to the point
• Have control over the mis-en-scene of my photographs so they fit in with the theme of my magazine

I feel all of these points are important to make an effective music magazine. Especially the mis-en-scene of my photographs. I have decided these points after looking at past pupils work and magazines currently on the market.
