Hand Drawn DraftsConclusion • The reason that I have done the hand drawn drafts is so that I can look into further detail in too what my magazines are going to look like these might not be the finale ones but they will give me a stronger idea of what people will like and what they will wan to buy. Both of my hand draw drafts are inspired by Q magazine and Karrang this is because both these magazines are very popular and this means that I should take some ideas that they have used to make sure that my magazine will be up to the same standard as these high flying magazines.

Me: Good because you first single that came out was such a hit with all people. Matt: I am glad to hear it. Me :What kind music will be listening to in this album. Will the same style as before or will it be something that we have never heard before. Matt: I have decided to keep this album the same style as my music before this is because my fans like the style that I have done before. But I am sure that I will expand on my music genres later on in my music career. Me: Do you not think they want to see you doing something new? Matt : No not yet as I have only just stared as a full time successful artist so for now I will show people what my main style then I might move on to something different later on. Me: Other than your new album will you be doing anything else this year or into next year? Matt : Well once the album is out and I hope it is doing well my manager is looking into me doing my first tour. Me: Will this be world wide, Europe or just the UK Matt: I guess you will have to wait and see because I don’t even know what I am doing yet it is all speculation and depending on weather this album does well. Me: I see, I will hope this it does well then then perhaps you could give me four free tickets Matt: Ah ha I would love to but I don’t think my production team will be so kind. Me: That’s a shame. But I cant wait to see you go as an artist. Any ways how did you get into music. Matt: Well I have always loved music I played lots of different instruments as a child but I loved to lead with my guitar. Me: You say lead? Matt: I played in a band with my friends when I was younger I loved it. It is what really got me into music as I got that rush of standing on a stage performing. Me: What happened to this band why did you not all pursue music together. Matt: We tried are best to keep it going but we were all on different path as some of us went to uni and we were all different ages trust me we tried. Me : Well I am sad it hear it but happy that it has put you in this seat in front of me to day. Matt: Well so am I. I wouldn't’t have changed a thing. Me : I has been lovely talking to you and I can’t wait to see what you do next. Matt: Thank you for the interview its been fun. Me: It been a pleasure
- 18. What will you‘Repeat’ (Steve Neale- 1980) Front Cover Steve Neale said: For media text to be successful they most have elements of repetition and difference. My magazine of inspiration (Karrang) has good ideas that they use in the magazine and I would like use these in m magazine to attract a bigger audience. These idea will be the logo and the positioning of there title as they keep it in the same place for every issue and the style the the title has been written in is the same. In some weeks they will change the colour of the logo to add a layer of diversity to the magazine. I do not intend on doing this to my magazine as I will make sure that my audience will know that the magazine that they are buying will be the real thing that they will know by first look. Further more they move the barcode and I will keep it in the same place this will be in the bottom right hand corner this is because I do not want the barcode to cover up any of the pictures or any of the text on the page. One more thing that I will do that my magazine of inspiration does not do, is I will put all my sub-lines down the left hand side so the reader will not have to look around for what they will be reading about. I will put the sub- lines here not the other side The text box will move down
- 19. What will you‘Repeat’ (Steve Neale- 1980) DPS • Steve Neale said: For media text to be successful they most have elements of repetition and difference. Because my DPS is inspired Karrang I would like to take some key features from their DPS and put them into a my own DPS. This will be a good idea because Karrang is already a successful magazine so if I take some of their ideas it will be good for my magazine. • I like the way that the title has been placed and so that everyone can see what the article is going to be about also it is in bright so people can see it so it will be more likely to draw in readers. I think that the drop capital is a good idea as it shows creativity as it is something better than just a plane letter that is the same size as all the others.

- 27. BackgroundFor the backgroundthe tools I used where • Paint bucket • Gradient tool • Paint brush For the background I started by just putting in a basic shade of red and then of the gradient. Then with the paint brush tool I put on a weak brush to blend in the two colours. The reason that I have chosen to do these colours in this style is because this is a rock biased magazine I thought it would be better to do darker colours as rock is most often seen as dark and sell up beat so these colours would best show what my magazine is going to be like. Step by step plan for front cover
- 28. Subheadings For both subheadingsI got my text off dafont this is because I thought that it suited the style of my magazine which is bold just like the style of music. Also I have put boxes and changed some of the colour of the writing, I have done this so they will stand out this was important to do as I will want to the audience to know the most important things that I will be advertising and the words that I have have highlighted will make people want to read the magazine
- 29. Barcode The barcode isnot so important when it comes to drawing in more people in to buy the magazine but it is very important to maintaining the customers that I have. This is because it has has the social media networks on it and this will help to stay connected to the magazine and to know when all the know issues will be published also the date on the magazine allows readers to know how old the information is on the magazine.
- 30. Title The tile hasbeen put is with a rustic styled font this is so it has the rock and roll style to it and this will help the main targeted audience coming in to look at it. Also the heading across the top means that they will know even from the top what what they will be reading about also it is in a different style font so they will look to it to see some dramatic writing this will draw them in.
- 31. Puff promotion This puffpromotion is showing that their might be a chance of them winning tickets to reading festivals. I have put this in front cover because these tickets tend to be very expensive so if I give people get the chance to win free tickets to this event they most likely buy the magazine to save them money . Also I have put it in a the red cycle to make sure that it stands out above the rest.
- 32. by step guidefor DPS Text For the text on the DPS I have alternated colours between me speaking (interviewer) and the Matt speaking (artist) this is so it will be clearer to the reader and so they will be less likely to lose their place when reading and this way if they only want to read specific questions they can because it has been structured in this way. Also I have put in a pull quote this is so the reader will be draw into reading this article by the bold and meaning full
- 33. Sub-image and heading Ihave chosen to put in a sub image of the artist on stage because this way the audience can see the artist doing what he does best, this is good to have because it looks like people are having a good time. Also the artists looks like he is enjoying himself this is good because this is what people want to see live. Also the heading is in bold so people went be able to miss it or skip past the the page as the bold heading is there to make sure that they are draw in to read.
- 34. Main image andsocial media For the main image I had to Photoshop the image onto the page using the magic wand tool and the end of the guitar had to run off the page as I didn’t get the whole of the guitar in the photo. Also for the social media I had to photoshop each image to suit my colour scheme and to add extra text so the reader will want to go online to see what else he has to say.

It will also show much the publishers need to give the magazine at the start of each mouth to keep all this equipment running and they will need to take into consideration that these products could brake and they will need to replace them. In total it will cost 500,874 I year to pay them all this should be good, but this is all if we sell enough magazines.
- 37. Print Cost • https://print24.com/uk/product/magazines/ Thescreen shot above shows me how much it will cost to print my magazine this is an important step as I can know work out how many magazine I will need to sell before I make a profit.
- 38. Advertising Revenue I willhave some advisements this will be a good way of making money and for other music based companies to expand. Another way that advertisements help my magazine will be that the company that we advertising might help to promote my magazine as well and this will be even more likely to draw in more readers. In my magazine there is one DPS for adverts and one full page so I will make £14,515 this is good because it means that this money can go to the workers and it can completely fund the printing cost.
- 39. Subscription 0.99x 12 =11.88 Toby a magazine a month it will cost the buyer £11.88 so if we give the buyers a cheaper option to buy a years worth of magazine it might make more money as more people buy it because it will be cheaper. So the offer I will give the costumers will be 12 months worth of magazine for the price of 7 months so this will only cost them £6.93 this will save them £4.65 So this should bring in more people.
- 40. Marketing the magazine •For the marketing of the my magazines I think that the best way to advertise will be going on to a radio or starting up a radio as this will draw in a lot more customers as they will know what type of music we will do and how the magazine is run. • It will also bring in more customers because people will just be going through stations finding good music and the music being played will draw in people that like the style of music this way the audience will be more loyal to the magazine and will be frequent customers buying. • This will also have a good affect on the magazine as on the radio will advertise the magazine articles and how to get subscriptions.
- 41. Profit and lossbreakdown • I have to make sure that I am making money even though I am spending a lot. I will be making £14,515 on advisements however I will lose money on equipment, staff and print cost which will come to £537,301.55 so over all I will need to sell 537,570 copy's of my magazine before I star making a profit.
- 42. Future plans In thefuture I would like for my magazine to reach top 10 music magazines sold in the UK in a year. I would also like to reach over 100 thousand subscribers on my YouTube page. It will be good to have a lot of subscribers because it is a type of social media and it will be the best way to bring in new people. It will also be more likely to attract people that are actually interested in music as they will have looked into music on YouTube and then I will provide links to the magazine. I think these are good targets to try and reach in my first year because it will show other magazines that we will be pushing for top spot in a few year and show customers that this magazine will be staying around for a long time and that it might be worth buying the magazine to see why everyone likes it so much.
