- 1.
- 2. The Pitch Working title-Forte I thought this was an appropriate title because it means loud in Italian which is linked to the genre of music I want to include in my magazine. Frequency of publication- Monthly. This is because my survey responses show me that my target audience (students) are not regular magazine readers. Cover price- Seen as though I want it to be a monthly magazine I think the cost should be reasonable at a price of £4.00 most of the magazines I researched were a lot higher in price because they are well known and I feel like it will have a lot more content
- 3. Genre My research showedme that most people prefer rock and indie music. It is clear from this that I will use his genre of music but also with very little pop. In order to appeal to the widest audience I don’t just want to focus on one particular genre so it will have many different artists. I am inspired to include music which is similar to Kerrang! and NME but with a younger target audience
- 4. About the magazine Colourscheme- I experimented with different colour variations before choosing one in particular to see which had the best impact I have chosen the grey black and red because I think they compliment each other and they wont be too similar to other well known magazine companies Style- When researching music magazines I found the covers more appealing when they are simplistic with little writing and I think they will appeal more to a younger audience if they are simple. This will help the main image be the focal point because it is what the readers will look for. I also want to include small images because it breaks up the text. I want to be careful when making my front cover because I don’t want it to look photo shopped and to give a sense of cohesion.
- 5. Content In addition tomy genre being based around rock and indie bands I will feature artists that would be associated with this style for different articles and interviews. Kodaline Catfishandthe bottlemen Arctic Monkeys 30 seconds to mars You me at six BombayBicycle club Paramore VampireWeekend The1975 Blink 182 JakeBugg
- 6. Regulars Giveaways/competitions- I thinkincluding a free cd will give the audience a reason for buying the magazine other than reading and they get something back from the magazine. Interviews- I find the idea of incorporating an interview in the magazine interesting as it makes the reader feel more connected with the artist and their music. They could be used on popular artists or unknown artists Reviews- This could be album reviews or live reviews which are popular with readers as it lets them read about them before they buy them. The magazine will feature a variety of reviews because my target audience being students they could decide what gig to go to if they are looking to go out. Advice- to break away from reading about artists and bands this segment will tell people what events are upcoming or clubs so it is still based around music.
- 7. Style FORTE. Colour scheme- Ichose these colours as I feel as though they contrast with each other which will make the title and writing stand out but also because I will be including pictures so I don’t want it to be too full and complicated. FORTE. FORTE. Bauhaus font size 96 Bauhaus font size 96 Britannic bold size 96 I have chosen … as my masthead font because it is simplistic which from my research has a nice effect and is the layout I am going for Headers I think….. font is easier to read and quite bold which would be good for headings. Text This font fits with the headers and masthead fonts which I think creates a uniform style.
