Here is an article I've written after researching and finding out that quite a lot of music magazines have small articles (such as reviews or reccomendations of new artists) in their contents pages. I have tried to emulate the writing style and descriptions generally used when talking about the indie/acoustic genre. I also wanted to reference a record label that a similar artist was signed to, as a lot of the time record labels tend to preference a certain genre of music; as Laura Marling is of a similar genre to the artist I have invented here, I chose the record label she was signed to. The "free download" is common in most music magazines, and is a reference to the synergy and convergence in the magazine industry.
The article:
Mon Amie, the stage name for Stephanie Reagen, a songwriter from Twickenham who combines acoustic melodies with raw, haunting vocals. Currently signed to WayOutWest Records, the same record company that brought Laura Marling into the public eye, Mon Amie is hoping to release an E.P in the new year. Songs to listen to are “Spoken” and “You Walked”.

I also included this image of the 'artist':
I got my sister to model for me, and took it with a digital camera. I then adjusted the brightness and exposure on Windows Photo Viewer. The way she is dressed, in particular the skinny jeans, is a style typically associated with indie artists.
