I believe that my magazine would be sold by an independent distributor. my magazine aims to target indie social groups and indie stands for independent. If it was sold my a major record label it wont be independent. However, if it is sold by an independent distributor it will be hard to keep profits up and its harder to advertise as you will have a lack of funds. You could advertise your magazine at gigs, and get artists to take a picture with the magazine and post it on their web page.
Example of an independent record label is big scary monsters records
Example of a major record label is Emi

shotting/choosing images
When taking the pictures for my magazine I made sure I took more pictures then necessary. I done this to make sure i had a picture which i was happy with and which also showed the innocence i wanted to show. I done this to make sure the image was ideal to catch my audiences attention.
Evaluation
My mast head challenges but follows the conventions of traditional mastheads. It's conventional as its the largest font on the page and is also placed on the top of the magazine. I have challenged the conventions by keeping allot of white space near my title, I did this to give it a clean sophisticated look to grab my readers attention. I made the writing on my mast head thin and looks like it could be hand written instead of bold n computerised. I got the idea for my front from Jonas brothers album lines vines and trying times. The font i used was from DA font and was called Renaissance. Another reason i used this font was it was very clear and easy to read, like my magazine. I believe you can tell the style of my magazine through my masthead.
With my images I wanted to take them all in forest to show straight away what time of year it is. I got the idea from a fashion magazine called Lula.Music magazines normally have a plain white background behind there images i tried to challenge this as much as i could without making my magazine look cheap. My main image was taken as a medium close up to make my model grab the readers attention.
