Planning your Article

Below are some prompts that you should answer in your post: Article Planning

Your article
What is your article about? (Specific band/Artist, Experience, Gig, Album release)
What sort of article is it? (Interview, review, Story etc.)

Style:
What Narrative voice will it be written in?
What sort of words are used by people into the kind of music featured in the article and magazine? (Refer to your textual research)
Are there other words related to the music industry (to do with recording, promoting, performing, instruments, gear, touring, gigs, venues, managers...) that would be used in an article like this?

Beginning:
What type of introductory paragraph will you use?
The first paragraph needs to encourage readers to read on. How will you make the content sound important, dramatic, exclusive, new, different, something that must be read?

Extra text on the page:
Many layouts use other text related to the band / artist somewhere on the page. Playlists, tour details, check them out at... What could you use? What would be relevant for the content of your article or for your magazine? Can the readers access more content on your magazine's website or respond to it in some way?
