Completed Project Proposal Sheet

1. Target audience:
(age range, interests)
The target audience will range from 17-26 as I believe that in this age range most of them
would be clubbing and partying with friends which my music choice represents as house
music is mainly played at clubs and party's to get people raving and dancing.
Possible title ideas:
(masthead / title block)
What is your magazine going to be called?
Rave
Blaze
Beat
Sound
Main image:
What will be the focal point of your front
page, remember, your work
The main image was going to be of the artist having the hands in their pockets looking
mysteriously at the camera and leaning forward this would be a medium shot as you would
get most of the body in, so you are able to see the body language and its close enough to
see the facial expressions.
Main cover line:
What will be the main story?
The main cover line will talk about the up coming artist , so it could possibly be- New up
coming artist hitting the stage. Or to keep it short and snappy have the main focus on the act
so have their name in bold letters so that it stands out so they know who the artist is called, I
then would add any extra information underneath this or to the side so it would still be read
but they have the name of the artist so it straight to the point.
Additional key images:
What other images will be on your front
cover?
I don’t think that I would include any more images to the front of the page as I believe it
would be over powered and I think the information is more important that the pictures. I
also want the main focus on the new artist and this would not happen with the other
pictures which are located beside it.
Additional cover lines:
Other features, stories or selling points which
will be inside the magazine, these need to be
audience appropriate.
the additional cover lines would be – the artists journey also and event which they had
recently played in so that they promote themselves as well a as exclusive interview. I may
also include on the front the review as it is a main feature so if I include it to the new
magazine it shows a trend.
Typography:
(style, size, colour of copy)
Think about the writing and the style of the
writing on your front page.
For the headings of the magazines I would use Global Superstars so on the front cover I
would have this as all of the stories mentioned on the front cover. The title of the magazine
would be blocked and very blunt so it is noticeable and sharp. The rest of the text would
possibly be Baskerville old face as it is simple and readable.
Background colour/image:
What will be in the background, remember
you don’t want to take the focus away from
the main image.
I have chosen the background colour to be white because I think it is powerful in its self
and every colour would stand out from this. I will then include pastel colours making it soft
and easy to the eye so it is appealing but not to powerful. The pastel colours could
potentially be light giving a bit of a neon affect to the magazine as this is associated with
house music.
Technical considerations:
(equipment, setting, props, costume, lighting)
Be realistic and creative, think about what
you have access to and how you could use it.
For the magazine for an extra prop I would have a free music download with the issue so
that the customers would be interested in them magazine and want to listen to the music.
This could be a 24 hour thing so that people will go crazy into purchasing the magazine as
soon as possible. This would effectively work because I believe that most of the people
whom listen to house music are updated with technology and are every dependent upon it
therefore making it suitable to making it a download rather that a album.
Double Page Spread:
(what will be the main article in your
magazine?)
This will need to be the main story on your
cover, what detail will be featured inside?
the main article for my double page spread would be a interview with the new artist, this is
because to gives the readers a is night to the new artist and they are able to learn about
stand it is a good way of promoting the new artist. I would also talk about live gigs the artist
has played for and the potential ones which are in the future then there would be also a
suggestion link where you are able to follow the link to the website which sis a download to
the music.
