7. RATIONALE
This indie magazine give Indie fans and readers a chance to be in
ahead of the rest with new bands artists who hot and who’s not and
where they will be all year round. This magazine covers all aspects of
the Indie genre and different Indie bands and exclusive information
on them and why there to popular at the moment giving the reader
knowledge and information on different artist and bands

8. HOUSE STYLES
I want my magazine to be as easy to understand and read and simple
but still full of information and style as possible. Due to the indie
theme I have picked I feel as though the style of indie is very laid
back and chilled which I want that feel to come across in my
magazine. So I will use fonts that are edgy but haven’t got that much
edginess that they are hard to read or take the focus away from my
main image.

12. MAIN IMAGE
The main image that I will use is of a band which I will photograph which is
relevant to my Indie magazine. Due to them being an indie band I will plan what
they wear, hair and makeup, props and where the setting is. I want the final image to
be easily recognisable as an indie magazine so will take the typical codes and
conventions of what ‘indie’ is in order to be able to grab the reader’s attention
weather this type of magazine is what their interested in towards other people who
may not know would be able to easily understand due to recognising the typical
codes and conventions of ‘indie’.

13. PHOTO SHOOT PLAN
For my cover image and DPS I will photograph the people I have chosen. I want
the setting to be on a grey to white background and use props which will be an
electric guitar a drum kit and a cigarette. I want their hair to be messy or in style
with the 1975 band as I will look at photo shoots from their band to get more ideas.
If they have any imperfections on their skin I will just cover them up with
foundation and maybe highlight there facial features with other bits of make-up e.g.
pencil, highlighter& mascara. I want the lighting to be quite bright but will edit the
picture to be black and white and make sure that the props and face and hair stand
out.

14. MAGAZINE COLOUR
SCHEME
The colour scheme for my magazine will be black white grey and
occasionally red and yellow. Though out the magazine pages I want
them to be mainly black grey and whites, which will fade into each
other and also make shadows. Then I will use the bits of red and
yellow to highlight information and focal points which I want the
reader to immediately focus on e.g. maybe bits of an image or the
beginning of text.
