Feature stories

Feature stories can be titled on the main cover and should interest the audience. Along with teasers, button/ flashes and hooks, these feature stories can also lure and attract the audience. This should then result in me portraying well -presented and clear stories, making it uncomplicated and easy to read.

The main feature story would be presented on the double page spread. A feature story is significant and can play a key role towards the target market. The stories can send out morals, issues and can advertise artists by making their ego bigger or creating a negative attitude forcing a change in popularity. A magazine is a part of the huge media global institution and can express the Hypodermic theory by alternating the audience’s views and perspective, particularly on rock artists.

As a result, I am going to try and create a main feature story consisting an interview that is expressing a rock artist’s thoughts, feelings and views. This personal interview seems unconventional and suggests a feature of challenging the common codes and conventions, in this case a rock article and a feature story. This is because a usual rock interview conveys a personal view about their music tours and concerts. However, the normal daily life never really arrives in the audience’s thoughts, therefore making an inviting story for the audience to read.

Along with the expressive interview, balancing the conventions by not challenging them will be shown through the normal rock stories such as:

  • Rock charts

  • Younger generation of rock

  • Dates for tours

  • Sexy secrets of rockers

  • Reviews of performances
