Aimed towards the young generation
of roughly 16 to 23, as the content will

colors that will attract the young

3. Initial
Magazine
Mind map Idea Two
RockStars
Masthead Name
Alongside the Brand Identity, the
magazine will let the public known
about what the content would be
about and therefore, I have decided
on name this magazine ‘RockStars’
Frequency
Inspired by the magazine ‘Kerrang’
and ‘Respect’
Providing the public with an issue
of its monthly purpose of updates,
gossip, reviews and interviews
Target Audience
Also towards the young
generations as such the context
and information provided will
appeal to them more as of the age
range of 15 to 24
Images Involved
With a decent amount of information, the public
can be anchored to the cover and the contents
as such of the popular celebrities and artists.
Also my chosen magazines of inspiration are
‘Billboard’ and ‘Respect’
Color Palette
By involving the use of contrasting
colors that will enhance the quality
of the magazine, along with the
influence of the other magazine,
bright and bold would make the
magazine cover stand out more
Brand Identity
Possibly placed in the corner of the
magazine, to remind the public was
brand the magazine has been
published from a popular brand, for
example, NIKE or BEATS
Strapline
An eye-catching quote, or also a
brief to remind the public about the
magazine's popularity
Additional Contents
Similar to the layout of ‘Billboard’
my magazine must look popular
and professional, and compliment
the brand

What must
me done:
With the starting
date of production,
before work,
printing and selling
has begun;
Planning as four
week production
process of the
magazine as well
as planning on
daily/weekly budget
on the production.
With the usefulness
of planning
organising teams
on the different
stages of producing
the magazine, may
make things easier
and meet the
deadline
Planning, on
managing the a
weekly budget as
how much to
spend during the
production and
also informing the
teams what what
to complete by
following a daily
schedule, this
would therefore
result in a
organised plan
without the means
to rush the
workload.
Management of
sticking to the
schedule as this
would help the
production of the
magazine as well
as the different
teams
understanding
what to do and
what to complete
within a certain
timeline. And
occasional check
of the schedule on
what to fix if a
problem may
occur.

This year has been crazy with the latest news and updates on the musical
