1. Style Sheet Possible Colour Schemes Bold striking colours with connotations of confidence. These are examples of the types of images I will be including in my magazine. These include posed studio images and a majority of live shots. This is the font I will be using for the main body text as it is clear and bold suggesting confidence. PICK! PICK! PICK! PICK! PICK! Potential fonts for Masthead. Clear and bold for a striking and confident effect.

6. Pitch The new magazine PICK! is a rock music magazine aimed at male and female teenagers – the majority being male- to young aged adults; approximately ages 16-25.The sexuality and religion of my audience is irrelevant for this magazine however stereotypically non religious people are more likely to listen to the genre of music this magazine covers. PICK! is a name representing a guitar plectrum. I have chosen this name as guitars are an instrument used a lot in rock music which is the genre of this magazine. This name could also be interpreted as an imperative statement telling the reader to pick up the magazine; whether it be off a shop shelf or in their own home. The average audience for PICK! will have a reasonably low income – if one at all- have a passion for rock music often listened to alone in their bedroom, at gigs or on an ipod and have a small but close friendship group. An average reader Rob, is a 17 student at a college in his home city York. He lives in a council flat with his mum and step dad and spends a lot of time both alone in his room and socialising at gigs. In this magazine, i will be covering rock music through interviews, gig reviews and general news on the artists. An example double page spread from PICK! would be an interview on a rock band or lead member, including a large number of images surrounding a smaller amount of text appealing to the younger – stereotypically less educated- audience. I may also include a small amount of text down the right hand side of the page giving an insight on the artist’s history and general news.
