Music Genres - The music genres I
have chosen to use for my music
magazine are Indie/Indie rock,
Alternative, rock/soft rock
I have chosen these
genres of music as these
are my preffered genres
of music.
I chose to have
multiple genres for my
magazine as this
gives a wider target
audience and a larger
range of musics and
artist.
Target Audience - The target audience
for my magazine are those who are
interest and like the genres of music

Music interest - looking into what other
elements f the music/music magazine industry
that the target audience of my magazine might
also be interested in.
Selling points - Looking at
other products such as
CDs , posters ,
give-aways and
competitions.
Competition - The magazines that would
be seen as rivals to miy magazine would
be magazines such as Q, NME, MOJO and
KERRANG! As these magazines mostly
feature the genres of music i have chosen.
Other music industry - There are other
alternatives to buying magazines to find new
music, companies such as Apple Itunes,
Spotify and other music downlaod sites like
these. The target audience may be interested
in sites such as these. Promotions or code for
these sites could boost buyers.

The style of my magazine is that
it focuses on the music rather

target audience are llok for more
serious mussic comentary.
Msic Magazine ideas - I Looked at
all the key elements of my music
magazine and expanded on each
point and came up with a nrange of
ideas for each point.
Masthead - when deciding what my
mast head could be I came up with a
varitey of possible names: Such as
INDiE RoCK, INDiGO, HighTOP,
REBELS, THE JAM.
I chose the mast head
'INDiGO' , I then used
dafont.com to look at a
range of font style I
could possibly use for
my mast head
Key Image - For my key image on the front cover I came up with a
range of ideas: Such as A New Girl Band - Two girl group, also a
different option would to be a solo artist either male or
female.The key image will be of two girl group - I have chosen to
have a two group girl band called 'THE BIRDS' for my key image
and feature article of my magazine.
Key Cover Line - For the key cover line on my magazine , I came up with a
couple of possible ideas that would best anchor my key image. Such as
'FRESH, FLY AND NOT TOO MAINSTREAM', 'FLYING HIGH' , 'NOT
FLYING SOUTH FOR WINTER' , ''THE BIRDS ARE BACK' AND FLYING
HIGH' .When choosing my key cover line I had two stories for the main
article that i was considering and this will effect what my key cover line will
be: the two cover lines I am considering are 'THE BIRDS ARE BACK AND
FLYING HIGH' and 'FRESH, FLY AND NOT TOO MAINSTREAM'.
Colour scheme - When thinking about
my colour scheme I wanted to stick to
conventions and go with typical back and
white as the base and then add 1 or 2
other colours such as blue, red , yellow
or orange, this gives the magazine extra
colour and brightens the magazine up
and looks more appealing.
Double page spread - When dieciding on a story for my
feature article I came up with two main ideas: Story 1 : A
brand new girl band emerging with thier debut single and
'INDiGO' magazine has the first ever interview with the band.
Story 2 : The girl band 'THE BIRDS' are back with their
second album, and on why this album took so long to make.
