The document proposes a new rock music magazine called "Loud!" aimed at teenage girls. It would fill a gap by providing content for female fans of rock music. The target audience is described as girls aged 14-19 who are in school/college and enjoy concerts and online activities. Initial ideas for the magazine layout include a large central image on the front cover with additional lines on the sides. The contents page would use three columns with images and page numbers. A double page spread would feature a large band image on the left with an article on the right using a drop-cap initial letter. Photographs inside would portray models in dark clothes and makeup against varied backgrounds to create a relationship with readers.

Task 9 : Formal Proposal
Magazine Title –Loud!
Explanationof genre choice
I have decided to produce a rock music magazine aimed at teenage girls as I
feel that a lot of rock music magazines out at the moment are mainly aimed at
males, and I think that it was time girls had their own rock music magazine. I
also think that I have a good idea on the kinds of bands and articles that I could
use in the magazineas I am a teenage girl who enjoys rock music, so it will be
well-informed and professional.
Target Audience
Age – 14-19
Gender – Female
Ethnicity – White
Lifestyle –Studying at school/college, middle class so has a disposableincome,
spends a lot of time with friends, at concerts or online.
Initial ideas about front page
Main image in the middle, covering the entire page but the masthead
overlapping it. Model in the image uses a direct mode of address to establish a
relationship with the audience. Main coverlinein bigger, bolder fonts and
colours so it stands out, other coverlines down the left and right sides.
Barcode, price, date and issue number all printed small in the bottom right
hand corner of the page, entire cover follows the rule of thirds.
Initial ideas about contents page
Use three columns to keep it tidy and easily read, title the page contents and
include a small version of the masthead for identity and branding. Useimages
that are linked to coverlines, page numbers and small descriptions of what
happens on each page.
Initial ideas about double page spread

2. RoisinQuinn
Main image of band/artist covers mostof the left page, with title/brief
description of the article underneath. Right page features the article, uses
drop-cap at the beginning to signify the beginning of the article.
Initial ideas about the photographs
Photographs useprops such as guitars, model ideally wears quite heavy
makeup and dark clothes. Use direct mode of address to create relationship
with audience. Main image on frontcover has plain background whereas those
used inside have more interesting, busy backgrounds
