List of Features and Articles in My Magazine.

• An article from an up and coming local band, from Britain. This article would give a summary as to what the band are like, their influences. A little it about the band members themselves and maybe a guide as to where they will be playing in the near future. This is always appealing to young people looking for new and fresh bands, and the fact that they are British also seems more interesting to the British reader.
• Album reviews provide an insight as to what's good and bad. If a well known artist has a new album out, people are always inclined to see what the critics think of it before the reader invests in the album.
• I often read through interviews where fans have sent in their own questions to the artist or band. These features tend to be a bit more playful, with people questioning rumoured on tour anecdotes or questions about an artists habits, for example. These questions/answers usually provide a few laughs, as my magazine is aimed at people in the late teens to late twenties, i think it is necessary that there is a bit of laughter. 
• A detailed gig guide. This could possibly take up three to four pages. It would include the best bands to look out for live, reviews on live shows and dates and venues listed. I think this is critical in helping my magazine appeal to the demographic i am aiming at. Young people are often keen on going to concerts, and this could prove very helpful in guiding them towards the right show for them.
• A photo special. I could use this feature as an extra on my cover. Possibly, i could say 'Festival Photo Special', this makes it sound as if the feature is a one off and will never happen again, making someone more inclined to buy the magazine.
