Initial Ideas For My Magazine

My initial ideas for my music magazine is to create a new original music magazine based around new music and the download charts. There will be articles featuring celebrity gossip, news and fashion to open up to a wide range of audience, for both genders. Therefore I need the front cover to be unique and interesting to catch the reader’s eye in wanting to buy my magazine in addition to the content used.

I’ll follow the main stereotypical layout as this way everyone can identify it to be a magazine however change some of the key conventions to help my magazine stand out and be different to other music magazines. I’ll mainly focus on the title and font of the magazine as this in the mast head which is placed at the top left corner and the first thing the reader focuses and read therefore need to be engaged and intrigued straight away. Also I will need to concentrate on the colours for the magazine so it can be portrayed in a good way and not mislead the audience in what the magazine includes, therefore I want the colours to be fresh and glossy, making it current to today's audience. I want my magazine to be used as escapism for people to read in their spare time and then speak to others about it creating a social aspect to the magazine. Hopefully it will be something that everyone can relate to and find interesting, constructing and developing the music industry and bringing in more production value.
