1. Formal Proposal
The title of the magazine I’mgoingto produce will be “destruction”,Ihave chosentouse thistitle
because itreallylinksinwellwithmychoice of genre,the word“destruction”isalsoaveryhard hitting
title andI thinkwouldworkgreaton a magazine cover.
The genre of mymagazine will be rock/metal,Ichose thisas mygenre because i know quite a lotabout
isso I thinkI will be able togetthe bestoutof a musicmagazine if I wentwithagenre I knew more
about.I alsochose thisas my genre of musicbecause I can be very creative whenmakingmymagazine,
a lot more than I couldbe if I focusedona more mainstreamgenre.
Ideal target audience:
 Gender-Male
 Age-16-25
 Ethnicity-WhiteBritish
 Class-Workingclass
Some of my initial ideasformymagazine coverare thingslike advertisingfree postersinside,alsoIthink
I wouldlike toinclude lotsof differentbuzzworddottedaboutthe coverlines.The maincolourscheme I
wantto go for isred, white andblack,Ithinkred andblack wouldworkwell withthe genre andthe
white will complimentbothcoloursnicelyonthe cover. Iwant to do a single artistonthe frontcover
rather thana group,because thenIcan focusmore onmakingthat one personseemmore powerful.
For my contentspage Iwouldlike tohave a verynicelylaidoutpage,Ialso wanta similartheme of
coloursfromthe coverto be on the contentsas well.Ialsowouldlike some pictureswithborders
aroundthemand page numbersto make the page lookmore professional,Iwantto have a picture of
eitherthe same personasthe cover,but withmore backgroundvisible inthe image orapicture of
someone Icouldsayis inthe same bandas the personon the cover.
On mydouble page spreadIwant to layit out sothat my image ison the lefthandside,the image will
preferablybe of twoband members,I wanta simple colourscheme withcolourslike grey, white and
black,I wouldlike to incorporate some redbutnottoo much.I want the article to be an interviewto
twoband memberswhoare eitherabouttostart a world touror have releasedanew album. Ialsowant
thingslike dropcapsand enlargedquotesfromthe article.
For my photographformy frontcover,I wanta picture of one person,the photowill be aclose upso
that the audience cansee the facial expressionsandalsosothe personlooksmore importantand
powerful onthe cover,Ialsothinkthat directaddressshouldbe usedwiththe personlookingstraightat
the camera. For mycontentspage I want mymainimage to be of a personrelatedtothe cover,I want
the image to be takenfurtherawaymore like a mediumlongshotandI wantthe backgroundinthe
image to be visible. Onthe double page spreadIwanta full bodyshotof twoband membersstanding
nextto eachother,maybe use propslike drumsticks,guitaror microphone.
