Magazine Proposal

Magazine proposal

The chosen musical genre of this magazine is rock. Which is aimed at teenagers both male and female aged from 15-21 who are into rock and like to do hobbies such as drawing, listening music and shares interest into being creative and open with themselves. There social class would be around in the middle class. The colour scheme that would be featured in the magazine would be red, black and white. These colours would be used to emphasise how the readers/target audience would be attracted to the magazine as it would stand out and me more appealing as these colours would indicate how they would be more likely to read it and these colours have been also mainly used in the rock magazines such as rock sound and kerrang. The lettering of the magazine would be preferably quite big as the teenagers who would be reading this magazine would most likely be reading a magazine that has a bigger size font than a smaller size. As, this would more appealing towards them because it would stand out more. The mast head would be including the title of the name of the magazine, and would also contain on the front cover what other rock artists that would be mentioned within the magazine which would appeal towards the target audience. The preferable design feature which would be used to design the music magazine is adobe InDesign. The type of artists I would include would be bring me the horizon, fall out boy, neck deep, we came as romans and etc. The regular items that would be featured in the magazine is some posters, features of some of the next performances (gigs, tours and etc.) one of the most important things which makes my magazine different from others is that I would contain few samples/previews of upcoming bands singles, Eps or albums also the top rock charts and which singles would be future hits on the rock charts. The magazine would be doing regular issues each month. The rock magazines mainly feature male artists on the front cover. Within this magazine is going to also feature female artists as well regularly. In order to appeal to both the male and female. The title of the magazine that i was thinking of is flava rock or inclusive rock. This would be in a quite informal style of writing as it will be able to relate to my readers, there would be included interviews, and loads of articles about the bands with information as to whether they are going to be touring with other bands that are similar within the category of the rock genre. The main reason why i chose to use red, black and white as the colours i am using for the magazine is because these colours show a sign of aggression, violence and danger which is closely linked to the rock magazines connotations. So, they would appeal to the audience. Also, all these colours are contrasting to each other, so it would stand out. The content page which also include the same colours as it would be used to create a house style, so that it would be recognisable to the readers. Even the double page spread is going to contain the same colours to create a regular house style and appeal to the audience. The images of the magazine would be medium shot images so that it would look more appealing and professional towards the reader.
