My proposal for music magazine.

proposal for my music magazine.

Genre- rock indie

My target audience is the youth teenagers and young adults age ranging between 16-24. I feel that this age range is perfect for the style of music and who is more likely to buy the magazine. I am also aiming this magazine at both genders as they can both like rock and indie music.

I am wanting to put an image of a band on the front cover of my photo as this instantly will tell you that it is an indie rock magazine. I will go about getting this photo by asking some friends to dress up for me in an indie rock look grab a guitar put them outside somewhere possibly down the beach and take photos.

My magazine will be about the music with interviews of band members and talk about why they wrote there songs and introducing new singers as well as advertising old. there will be posters of the artists or band of the week and a collection of guitar picks every now and then. my magazine will be about the music and not the gossip.

Some cover lines I will put on my magazine will be- interview with Paramore, and some puffs and plugs  on free tickets to concerts or how to win a recording studio for the day. 

The title I have decided to call my magazine is piercing as this really describes the style of the music. it also stands out from other magazine names. there was other magazine titles I came up with such as old is new and future is now (FIN) but they didn't have the power to describe the magazine unlike piercing. 

fonts that I am thinking of using are the basic magazine fonts such as serif and sans serif. I was also thinking of using bank gothic as this suits my music magazine well I also tried different fonts such as cracked 1 and black oak std but these did not have the same effect.

my magazine will be published every two weeks and with the four main season dates I will change the design of the cover as well is the colour theme and also when its a spatial action like the magazines anniversary, Halloween, Christmas and Easter.

I will have my magazine as the normal A4 size as it is small enough to fit in there bag or to hold but enough space with in the magazine for text, information and pictures that are still easy to read.

on the contents page I will use another photo of a different artist or singer that will be talked about in the magazine but is not as important to the band on the front of that weeks issue the colours i will use on the contents page will be whites and reds as it doesn't need to be as dark as the front page but still needs to be easily read.

the price of my magazine will be £3.00 as it is affordable to the age range I am selling it at.
