1. Articles which are going to feature in my music magazine is an Interview with my made up Trance DJ called Lola van Mayer. I'm going to also include information about upcoming giggs from different artists and the perfect clubbing holiday resorts for our readership.

2. The features page I've created is going to be the main page which is advertised on my contents page. It will also be near the front of my magazine so it will be the first thing people read and hopefully inspire them to read  other articles like this one in my magazine.

3. If an article I was making was something like an interview or an article about a celebrity i would dedicate a whole double page spread to it which will allow enough space for pictures and text. If it was some thing small like tour dates i would dedicate a small section of a page for this. My target audience doesn't have the longest attention span so i need to make sure my long articles don't drag on and they keep them interested.  If I make the articles interesting and colourful and include lots of pictures, my target audience wouldn't just flick through my magazine and will take the time to read it.

4. The genre of music represented in my magazine is Trance/Dance music. I have made up the name Lola van Mayer but she is fictionally established in my magazine. I'm going to include tour dates on real established artists such as Tiesto and Paul van Dyke.

5. House colours I have chosen to use are black then splashes of bright colours like blue, pink and yellow. These help reflect the music genre of Trace as the black represents the dark club and the bright colours represent the strobe lights you find in clubs.

6. I have decided to put my article on my features page in columns but decided to put them in jaggered order. I think it would of looked too formal if it was all in columns. I have included two pull quotes and a strapline underneath
