The magazine aims to attract this audience through bold colors, heavy makeup in photos, simple fonts listing bands, and interviews giving
Early name ideas

Research on existing music magazine titles shows they often consist of a single word like "Q" or "NME".

Pre-production ideas led the author to decide "noir" would be a suitable title as it meets requirements and complements the handwritten font and house style of the magazine.
Conventions para
This document discusses conventions used in music magazine layout and design. It explains that magazines establish a consistent house style through layout to create a sense of identity. Most magazines feature a large artist image and masthead at the top of the cover. Text is placed on the left third of pages according to how people naturally read. Depending on genre, magazines use different styles - for example, hip hop magazines tend to be brighter with single artist features. Magazines also employ tone and style of writing to create a mood that allows readers to relax and enjoy reading.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the design choices made for a magazine called "Sidewinder". It was inspired by other indie/alternative magazines like Clash, Loud and Quite, and Fader. The font, layout, colors, and photos were chosen to attract an indie/alternative music fan target audience. Black and white were used prominently to give it an "indie" look. Photos featured stereotypical indie styles. The contents page took inspiration from Fader but added an indie twist. Inspiration was also taken from Clash's layout of white boxes over photos. Branding was included throughout to get the magazine name stuck in readers' heads.
Magazine presentation
The document discusses the planning and creation of a hip hop magazine called "The Chronic". It includes research on existing magazines for inspiration, draft designs for the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread interview.

Q1 Evaluation
1) The document discusses how a student's media product used and developed conventions of real music magazines. It conformed to conventions like headlines, mastheads, and contents pages but subverted some conventions like using boxes for content sections.
2) Research was done analyzing magazines like XXL, Respect, and RWD to understand layouts and color schemes. Screen grabs were included of the research.
3) Images and naming artists clearly situated the magazine in the R&B genre. However, the models did not fully represent musicians since they lacked instruments or other props.
Evaluation - Question Five
The document discusses how the author addressed their audience for their double page magazine spread. They took inspiration from the layout and style of NME magazine, which targets a similar audience of 16-25 year old males and females. Some elements borrowed from NME included keeping images and text distinctly separate, and using a drop cap at the beginning of articles. However, the author tried to include their own original ideas as well so it did not appear too similar to NME. Two pieces of audience feedback are also included, with one commenter suggesting brighter images would make the magazine more appealing to secondary audiences like pop fans.
My evaluation of final contents page
The document evaluates a contents page for a magazine targeted towards female readers. It has a pink and purple color scheme to appeal to women. The layout is simple to allow readers to easily see what stories are included. Images on the contents page representing the main stories help readers understand the magazine's genre and emphasize important articles. Though the layout was simple, selecting images took a significant amount of time.
Research for my magazine
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 10 students ages 15 to 24 about their music preferences and what they would want in a music magazine. The survey found that pop, hip hop, and R&B were the most popular genres, most students would pay £5 or less for a magazine, and many students attend music shows.
Question 3
IPC Media would be the best publisher for the author's indie music magazine because while Bauer Media publishes larger, more established music magazines and has a presence in radio and television, IPC only publishes one popular indie magazine, leaving room for another to draw in more of the indie music audience. IPC is also the UK's leading consumer magazine publisher, selling 350 million magazines per year.
