Stories and Contents? Whats needed? Whats neccesscary?

The three main stories that I have decided to use for my magazine are the titles 'Sporting achievements', 'Social and work- how to combine them' and 'Music- the effect'.I think that sporting achievements is something that even though it evolves around one main interest - sport. Its a very popular subject and something that alot of people can relate too. This would make my magazine of interest to alot of students. The section with social and work is something that I believe teachers and in general we all try to do yet do we really know the formula and how much we need to do or when to go out and should we really just stay inside and not socialise. All these issues are interesting and again certainly a hot topic with upcoming exams or in my case post exams and looking towards the next one. Interesting topics will create interest in the magazine. The final topic combines well with the previous story of social and work. Music is something we all rapidly over more recent times with advancements in technology enjoy and I think including a topic with music and the effect of it on students is of real interest. I could use for my images a new range of ipods or just a crowd or learning group tuned into their MP3 or ipods. 

I haven't really thought in depth about what I will have on the contents page of my magazine however I have a few ideas. I'm thinking of doing a page for people at the school wanting new impetus or something changed. I would like this format to be almost like a clipboard yet in magazine. This is a style I have seen used in other magazines such as 'Match' and more regularly in the Bristol City FC match day programme. I also have the idea of having a teachers section where each week a 'Teacher Talk' column takes stage, a small fun column that could become a regular popular part of my magazine. I believe this could feature a head to head either knowledge or quiz between two teachers or purely just some background information on the two such as 'Favourite Meal' etc something that I have seen alot of from reading 'FourFourTwo' when looking at an upcoming prospect in the football world. These issues are things that I will think about in the next few days.

I hope to think more in-depth about the contents page in the next few days and start to build my front cover together whilst also creating and finding the ideal images for my front cover and inside covers.
