Target Audience - My target audience for my music magezine would be mainly males more than females ranging from the ages 15-30, the main reason for me purposely aiming my music magezine at both genders is due to the fact the younger generations usually seem to be more interested in magazines and partying than the older generation. This is because parents usually buy them for their children.
Purpose - The purpose of my Music magazine is to update the community and fans on what is happening around in a specific music scene, my aim is to show deeper insights into a certain music genre or a band. I want to do this so people can easily follow a certain music scene and know more about individual artists.
Style - The style i am going to try and comprehend into my music magazine will be very informal due to the fact i am making this magazine to update and inform people. I will be incorporating this style into my music magazine due to the fact my main target is to update people with new scene happenings. This will include certain things such as interviews, rumours and announcements.
Magazine Features - In my magazine i will need to include a lot of criteria to update and keep everyone informed, this means i would need to include almost anything into my magazine a typical music fan would find interesting, these would include things such as interviews, headlines, rumours and fun activities. Here are some ideas i have thought of displayed below.
- Interview with the metalicca lead singer
- Band antartica performs at leeds concert!
- Rock star Iggie Pop drug rumours
- New years concert to be at 02 arena
Possible Magazine Names - A magazine cover is the most important part of any magazine since it's the first thing readers will see. I have'nt yet decided on which music genre i will choose yet, therefore i will display names to match different genres. The better presented it looks the more people will want to view it. I have thought of a wide range of magazine names i am suggesting to use, some of these would include:
- Pedal 2 Metal
- Ghetto Gossip
- Indienation
- Rumours & Blues
- Dub Nation
- D&B Source
Music Genre - I have decided to choose a music genre such as dubstep or drum and bass due to the fact these two music types dont happen to receive much attention and exposure. Also this would do a huge favour for each scene since this would be the first big magazine for any of these genres and this would benefit them hugely with more public exposure.
Colour Themes - The main colours i will be using for my music magazine will be a mixture of cool and breezy colours. This could mean mixing colours like white and different shades of blue. this could even mean using a negotiable colour which is also very flowing and expressive such as green. These are colours which i would describe as flowing colours which are very airy, fresh and relaxing. This also relates to both music types.
Possible Magazine Pictures - I have chosen to follow drum and bass and taken a few photos of people while i have been out. Since drum and bass is associated more with the partying and raving scene i have taken a few photos while i have been out in town. Some of the things what are most associated with these music genres are DJ's working on their decks, mixing music is the main aim of these types of music therefore this is the best way of expression.

Photograph 1
This is a picture i have taken of a friend who is a DJ at a club in town. I would consider this as the first choice for displaying my music magazine cover, a key point i would like to make about this photo is that it includes a lot of excitement, energy and talent which represents the drum and bass scene. If i was to use this photo for the front of my magazine cover i would have to make the picture gently darker using brightness and contrast. I would then increase the saturation gently to add colour and connote an atmosphere that the drum and bass music scene is very bold and exciting. I would also crop the person out of the picture on the right side to show that chris is the main focus of this picture.
Photograph 2
In this picture the person isn't paying any attention to us therefore i wouldn't consider this as my first choice as a magazine cover, however this could be quite a good picture to feature on my double page. As you can see the colours are very pale and would need some special effects or saturation altering to make this an appealing photo for a double page. On the other hand the main attraction of this photo is the hard work factor which is displayed in this picture, i feel this image would be perfect for an interview scene due to the fact it is showing someone in progress which makes us want to ask him what he is going through. Personally i do this this photo hasn't made out to the best of its ability, there needs to be alot more colour involved. If i was to use this for a double page i would incorporate some saturation and use another layout for the background as this does appeal a very mess and untidy area.
Magazine Fonts - I need to explore the fonts i will use for my music magazine, i personally think drum and bass connotes a very fast feeling which means i will need to look into thin fast looking fonts. Drum and bass often appeals to younger people who are creative and sometimes like graffiti, therefore using a thin and tidy graffiti like text would be ideal for this music genre.
Font 2

Font 1
This is the main font i have considered using for the headlines of my music magazine. I have decided this would be an ideal font for headings to the fact it is very bold, eye catching and hazardous looking. The first thing i think of when i see this font is crime tape due to the way each letter splits up with lines. This is another thing to associate with drum and bass because it is a very extreme and underground music category. I will most likely use this font for titles and the front cover.

Font 2
The second font would be ideal for a lot of text i personally think. This is due to the fact it is a very straight forward font and slightly fits into the creative graffiti text type. The font is very thin and fast which is mostly popularly associated with drum and bass, i will be using this font for the writing in my music magazine.
