When making a music magazine or any magazine there are some steps in which you can follow if you want you magazine to be successful : http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2011/08/6-steps-for-producing-a-custom-magazine/
- Have a deadline of the plan of your magazine to your editor
- Design a draft for the magazine which will be looked at by a graphic designer
- Have like a story board of all the articals that are going to appear in you magazine.- this is so you can see the content overall and see if it fits or not with your theme
- Printing deadline
- Distribution date (sales and marketing)
- Content plan
- Plan for each article
- Check
Now I have been doing some research into making a magazine on the internet and stumbled on this artical which is in a magazine itself by Cosmopolitan http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/_mobile/campus/cash-and-careers/student-careers/self-publish-your-book-magazine
it basically gives you a idea of what you have to do to make your own magazine.
1. Hire a designer
2. Get someone to proof read for you (again and again and again!)
3. Find a printer
4. Content is key
5. Realise that it is up to you to sell your product
A NOTE FROM ME :3
After reading these I have taken aboard that making a magazine isn't going to be like coming in one day and having a magazine in one day. I will have to plan and develop my skills of being a photographer, journalist and editor which is something that I have never done before but I am up for the challenge.
