2. Why you should publish my magazine
I am creating a magazine based around the genre of rock which is a very
popular genre. I think that my magazine would be very appealing towards the
younger generation who enjoy this genre of music. My first issue of the
magazine would contain interviews from famous artist, the top charts,
updates and the latest news and gossip so that the audience can keep up to
date with it all.
3. How my magazine will be conventional
cover page
The masthead of my magazine will have to be bold and stand out to the
audience because it is the first thing they will see and this means it will have
to be appealing towards them. I will also have to make it unique compared to
other magazines. I will make the cover of my magazine conventional by
having an image which looks rebellious and carless because this would suite
the genre well and I will use conventional colours like black, red and yellow
because this would support the rebellious and aggressive look. I will use
advertisement on my cover of the magazine so it would be more persuasive
to the audience and make them purchase the magazine.
4. How I will make my double page spread
conventional
I will have a main image which will either take up the whole lefty or right
page which will attract the audience and I will have a small first which is used
at the beginning of a interview, review or story so it will give the audience a
brief introduction of what the article is about. I will also use a pull quote half
through the article to draw the audience to a personal quote which will grip
the reader to the article. This is conventional for a rock magazine.
5. How I will make the contents page conventional
At the top of the page it will say “contents” to make it evident and clear to
the audience because this is where they will find out where everything in the
magazine is. I will have a main image on this page but it doesn’t have to
relate to the double page spread but I will have to be suited towards the
target audience and include a small and short caption saying who and what
the image is about.
6. Who my target audience are and how I will
make my magazine appealing to them
My target audience is both females and males aged 11-20. the mode of
address will be direct because I want the magazine to connect with audience.
This is why I will include a lot of information about concerts gigs and write
ups about artist telling the audience why they might like them or why they
might not like them. The house style will not be formal since the magazine is
aimed at a younger target audience and I want to make it easy for them to
read and understand.
7. The content and style of my magazine
My content will be all about rock and the artists that produce this genre of music. The
content will also include interviews from famous artist and their thought about the
rock scene etc. It will also have the weekly charts which will tell the audience about any
new releases. I will also include articles about new comers and new bands who are
trying to make it into the rock scene. I want my content to influence my audience into
producing rock music and I want it to make them different an unique to every body
else. The rock scene is made by people being different and unique.
