The document discusses planning for a rock music magazine, including choosing a name, genre, fonts, and question/answer format for articles. It presents 5 potential names - Uprising, Revolution, Rock Nation, Cadence, and Reprise - and says Uprising received the most votes in a poll. It decides the magazine will focus on the rock genre. For fonts, it selects "Break it" which has cracks symbolizing broken rock. The text colors will be black and red. It provides examples of questions and humorous answers from another magazine and decides to use a free-flowing Q&A format for articles.

1. Task 5

2. Revolution
Uprising
What name ?
Reprise
Cadence
Rock
Nation

3. Uprising
 I have chosen this as it is a word which describes going against the rules and
what is expected of us in society. This is what rock is seen all about so
therefore it is related and effective.
Revolution
 The idea of this name came from the tradition of rock, it is a revolution
against what is expected to us and the music goes against the norm. Even
though this is similar to the name uprising it has a different effect when you
read or hear it.

4. Rock nation
 This is a fairly common name but it instantly refers to what genre my
magazine is but it shows how this genre is highly recognised on a large
scale.
Cadence
 This is a musical term used to define a sequence or measure in rhythm.
This would show the reader that the magazine is professional and the name
also sounds abnormal which increases how eye-catching it is.
Reprise
 A reprise is a repeated performance, such as an encore. This is music
related, it is unique and would be easy to remember for the audience.

5. Name chosen
 To decide on my magazine name I put forward 5 names and asked 15 people
their opinions on each one, then each individual came to a decision and
voted on a single name.

Name Popularity
 The outcome was that Uprising clearly had the most votes. The second most
popular was revolution, then cadence and reprise and then lastly with only a
single vote was Rock Nation.

6. Jazz
Classical
Country
Possible genres
Pop
Electronic
Rock

7. Rock
 After looking at other magazines I have decided that the genre in which I
will bas my magazine round will be rock. There are many rock magazines out
to date and it is amongst the best selling along with pop magazines.
However I decided I have more knowledge of the rock genre as this would
appeal to my taste of music, also I believe that the way in which the photo is
taken would suit my plans.

8. Fonts
 Dolce Vita
 Bebas Neue
 Bombing
 Break it
 Midnight moon
The font that I chose was Break it, I
believe that this looks professional but it
still appeals to the unique side due to
the cracks in the text. The cracks could
symbolise the literal meaning of a rock
which can be broken up, it is still
suggesting the music genre though.

9. Font Colour
 Colours
 Red
 Black
 Blue
 Green
 Red
 Orange
I have chosen to use two colours for my
text, these are black and red. When
looking at other magazines of the same
genre these colours were commonly
used. They are both relevant as it
shows the darkness of rock and once
these colours are put together they
contrast in an effective way

10. Q&A

Q&A

Kerrang example:

Q:LAST TIME YOU WERE CHATTED UP?
A:"It was at Northampton. She was lovely,though,Huge breasts. Very pretty. And her technique was, 'Sign my breasts-where are you
staying tonight?’"

Q:LAST FAB ARTICLE OF CLOTHING YOU BOUGHT?
A:"My white, knee length, four-inch platform boots. They’re great for onstage, because they bounce without me actually having to move.
They were 35 quid from Elephant & Castle market"

Q:LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
A:"The truth is, I cry almost constantly. But the last time was when we were rehearsing a song called ‘Intravenous Lover’. I was having an
emotional day. The song is about something really personal and I just found it really hard to sing it"

Q:LAST TIME YOU SAW AN UFO?
A:"Ooh,ooh,I saw aliens! Me and my friend stayed up all night, and we saw this massive strobe-ish light behind a tree. My friend was totally
terrified, convinced that there were little metal objects digging in next door’s garden. It was really scary"

Q:LAST TIME YOU PUKED YOUR GUTS UP?
A:"We’d all gone to the pub at exactly half-an-hour before closing time, so we all had to buy two rounds. The table was just full of drinks.
We had eight drinks each in half-an-hour. Afterwards, we were walking back to the recording studio and i just kind of sidled up to the fence
and vomited over it. I was that smart about throwing up that nobody else noticed. That's talent"

Q:LAST FIGHT YOU HAD?
A:"It wasn’t really a fight, but we played a gig recently where this bloke kept chucking bits of paper at our guitarist,Oli,and I was in a bad
mood and it annoyed me. Then he threw his boxer shorts at me, so I threw a glass at him. He wasn’t hurt. But it was really stupid of me and
did get in trouble. If you’re listening, I am very sorry, Mr Revolting Boxer Shorts BOY"

Q:LAST TIME YOU HAD AN EROTIC DREAM INVOLVING SEBASTIAN BACH?
A:"Probably when i was 14!But more daydreaming fantasies while i was in class. It would get me through maths. But actual dreams...I used
to dream about Richey Manic sweeping me up and carrying me away. I'm not sure where to, but I’m sure it involved sex at some point"

11. Free flowing

12. What format have I chosen ?
 After looking at many different examples I have decided that for my
magazine the main article will be laid out in a question and answer format.
This is simple and it means that the answers are more to the point and
relevant.
