Possible title ideas:
(masthead / title block)
What is your magazine going to be called?
My possible music ideas would be Solo, Pop Hits, Rock Addiction, Only Pop,
Dubstep Voice, Simple Indie. These match a certain genre so depending on the
genre I choose depends on the title but it will most likely be Rock Addiction.
Main image:
What will be the focal point of your front page, remember, your work The main image will be of the band or artists that will be featuring the
magazine and will be a medium close up of them with the stories of the
magazine around them.
Main cover line:
What will be the main story? ”The hideaways are found and we get the first gossip about their new album”
Additional key images:
What other images will be on your front cover? Other pictures to match the secondary stories in the magazine like pictures of
other artists.
Additional cover lines:
Other features, stories or selling points which will be inside the magazine,
these need to be audience appropriate.
” Black Angels rumoured to split”
“Exciting news from the member of Demons”
Typography:
(style, size, colour of copy)
Think about the writing and the style of the writing on your front page.
The text will most likely be black and a very easy text to read. But the colour
depends on the colour scheme so it can be seen easily.
Background colour/image:
What will be in the background, remember you don’t want to take the focus
away from the main image.
Should be a bland colour like white or a pale purple and black background so it
doesn’t distract from the main image but still links in to the genre of the
magazine.
Technical considerations:
(equipment, setting, props, costume, lighting)
Be realistic and creative, think about what you have access to and how you
could use it.
A rock style outfit with very dark colours but still looks good like a band would
and bright lighting so the band stands out on the front cover.
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 double page spread will be an interview with the band and things they like
about their success and how they got there.
