Coverlines
"This is the Beginning" Alysha Hackett Exclusive
This will be my main coverline and will be a quote from my featured article about Alysha Hackett. This will encourage readers to want to read the magazine as it will get them excited for the future of the artists and keep them updated with whats going on in their life and whats going to happen next.
Kiss Land Tour
The Weeknd's "Kiss Land" Tour of the UK has just finished. This heading will be a section about our journalists being at a few of the shows and seeing how he has developed as an artist over the last year. From barely selling out a 3,000 capacity venue in December 2012 to selling out Two nights at the 02 Arena!
Albums Of The Month
This section of my magazine will be the Top 10 albums of the month but instead of sticking to the mainstream and having the album ratings being based on sales, we will have 3 judges who will rank the albums in top 5. This way it will give upcoming artists a chance to be put on our chart and push start their career.
Kanye Vs Drake
This section of my magazine will see two of the biggest artists in the game right now fight it out for 3 rounds. Rymes, Flow and Sales. This section will be a bit of friendly competition between the artists and will just give the readers a few stats and facts about the two artists.

Equipment
Camera and Lighting
For the images of my magazine I took my model, Tegan Grainger, otherwise known as Alysha Hackett, to the media classroom where I can have my photo shoot. I used a white screen as this will fully make the model the main focus of the image and will highlight all the colours she is wearing.
Computer Software:
I am currently using InDesign to make my magazine instead of using Photoshop as In Design is a much more professional editing software and it is much easier to create magazines on the software. InDesign enables you to view the document as a magazine and you can use various different tools such as the master page which quickly and effectively adds the same text to all of the pages. This makes adding page numbers, websites and social networking links a lot easier as it prompts to audience to use these links as they will be on every page.
I also used Powerpoints, word documents and Prezis's a lot while planning my magazine and i aslo used Slideshare a lot while embeding documents. Because I have used these programs before it made it easier for me to get tasks done quickly instead of wasting time trying to find out different tools to use.

Box Out Text
Alysha Hackett talks about the biggest and greatest Hip-Hop Stars of today:
Lil Wayne: "I have always respected what Wayne does, and Wayne to me is definitely one of the greatest in the game. Wayne is fucking dope"
Nicki Minaj: "She was my latest inspiration as an artist. She has made her music mainstream while still maintaining her dirty, raw bars at heart. She does an excellent job of getting her music heard and looks gorgeous while doing it."
Eminem: "This guy is my fucking idol! No one has ever been able to destroy the mic as much as Em. He is a lyrical genius and has the sickest flow in the game today. Hands down, the best ever. Legend!"

Contents Page Ideas
This are my ideas that I am looking to include in my Magazine. I have included main artists that I will want to talk about and have exclusive interviews with. I have also included charts and "Top Songs" to inspire the reader to listen to more songs and see if our favourite song is similar to theirs. Reviews on new albums will also be published on the mag and it will go into detail about the best songs on the album and the ones which we think didnt bang as much as the others
