Format: Magazine
I am going to be producing a a new rock magazine by designing the front page and double page
spread. I have been inspired to use the rock genre of the magazine by some of my favourate
music rock bands. I then did some more research and found a magazine that features my
favourate bands. That magazine that I have been inspired by is called ROCK SOUND to have then
decicded that I am going to call my new magazine ROCK DANCE.
Working Title: e.g. My working title is ‘rock dance although this might change. This is part of the
name of a band who could appear in the fanzine although it will not be all about them.
The name of my new magazine is called ROCK DANCE that has been inspired by the magazine
that I have been inspired by to use due to the bands that they feture in the magazine. I am going
to be linking the font style to the genre of the music that the magazine will be featuring. My new
magazine will be featuring indie rock as the magazine will be featuring a band called the COASTS
which produce the genre of music that will be featuered in the magazine that I am going to be
producing. The colour that I have chosen is blue because I want to relate it to the band I am going
to be featuring called the COASTS. The blue resembles the coast of in genrel the countrys, so you
have the light blue sea with the rocks and white clouds.
Genre:
The genre of the magazine will be based on indie rock, the competeitors for the magazines sub
genre will be Mojo because they share the similar content and the colour scheme. Therefore the
target audience wil be very similar as they would be aiming to get the same sort of indie rock fans
to like them. I have based the genre of the music magazine on indie rock because I have a family
firend that is in a rock indie band called the COASTS who are now part of the BBC so I can full
information from my family friend which would go towards the interview for the magazine. So I
have linked the name of the band to the magazine in terms of the colour and style of the
magazine which is very similar to the Mojo magazine.
Content:
The indie rock magazine ROCK DANCE will be covering the following of pictures, articles, album
reviews and interviews. They will be all based on the band the COASTS as I will be able to gain the
information of them because of my family frined James who plays the bass guitar for them. The
publication will also fetutre other small bands that are part of the sane genre. The magazine will
contain the exlcusive news for the magazine which would then make the magazine very star
appeal to the readers.
Style or Approach:
The denotation of the colour scheme that is going to be used on the front cover of the magazine I
am going to be producing will represent the coast of the coutry. The blue will reprenst the sea
which conotates the calm effect. The green will represent part of the mixture of the sea and the
land. Part of the mixture of having a bright blue sky and the dark blue for the sea. The text will be
in white to represent the clouds that you will find on the coast to show hope in the sky. So bright
white so then the text will stand out a lot more infront of the blue and the green. The over all
catch of the colour schemes to show the calm and tropical rock music displaying the features of
the music. This will require the tools to belnd the colours together which would be the blue and
the green that will appear at the bottom of the magazine front cover. As the colour gets brighter
further up the top of the front cover of the magazine. I am going to be using the soft wear known
as Adobe Photoshop to construct the magazine pages.

Conclusion
what can be made better for the next issue ?
On the magazine there will be more puff promotion on the front cover so that the magazine
becomes more exciting instaed of having only one on the front cover. The font style coud be
different so making the colours swap around so that there is a different back ground and colour of
the text means that the mast head will become more appealing to the reader. This is because the
text changing colour will then become more eyecatching and then again more interesting than the
last. All these new features will tell the reader that there is a new and improved magazine desighn
that the reader can the compare to the old issue that they have bought. The interviews can also be
improved byt the the headline reaviling a more intertsing and exlusive quote such as James makes a
comment towards the big man. More inside the magazine will then attract the reader to read on in
the magazine.
