Answers:

I too am currently doing it for gcse.

The magazine should appeal to a niche market. So, for example, if you're doing a rock or metal magazine, you need to identify your audience (young or old or perhaps somewhere inbetween). In my situation a young audience, you then to state why you are aiming it at a young audience (because there are only two well known magazines which currently do this being Kerrang and NME).
A good idea would be to add hypodermic models (something that will attract the reader and get them hooked) to the front page to attract and addict your readers, as well as being true to the magazines word (whats stated on the front page must impress the reader inside the magazine).
The content must be in depth and, it is a good idea to try and give the readers as much oppurtunity to get involved with magazine as possible, so by allowing unsigned artists and bands to be featured in the magazine but take it further and allow the readers to find out more and contact details. Also include a comments page in the magazine to allow music fans to have their say. The rest is up to you, you have to be creative, so i reccomend, as revision, doing a mind - map and coming up with ideas about every aspect of the magazine including the price.

I hope you can understand all that squit - Good luck everyone :D
