Possible Page Layout

Here is a example of my page layout. This is only a brief idea I had for my main article layout but I did not believe it was not successful.

Photoshoot organization

Here is how I set up my photo shoots for my magazine.

I emailed many people for my photoshoot because a lot of my friends fit the genre of music for my magazine.

Here is one of my main models for my photoshoot. This was to show where I was organizing the shoot and when I was taking the photos.

Here were the weather forecasts for my photo shoot, the weather was scheduled to be bad so we decided to do the photoshoot indoors and it was quite successful.

Magazine Survey Results

I conducted a survey on things in which I should include in my magazine. These pie charts show my results for the questions.

Magazine Survey Results Response

My magazine survey results showed that there is a big variation and debate in what people want in my target audience. There was a close debate between people who wanted to know about both current artists and unknown artists. Due to the survey results I have a clearer opinion of what people want from this magazine and what they think about the type of music the magazine it based upon. I also learnt that people would want to see a lot more pictures than interviews so for this I have gathered many different models to give them a variation of photos for my magazine. I also learnt a lot about the price in which people wanted would purchase the magazine and I have come to the conclusion  that my magazine will cost £1.50 and be advertised in stores bars and clubs in which gigs will host the genre of music in my magazine.

Music Magazine Proposal

Here is a proposal for my music magazine. Hope you enjoy it

My magazine proposal is to start a music magazine aimed at teenagers between the ages of 15-19 in some of the faster growing genres in the modern day in the terms of indie music where there has been a rapid increase in unknown bands being signed and also the increase in Dubstep and Drum and Bass with the many people developing talent in this region because of there love of music.

Our promise to you would be good quality news information gossip and interviews with all the latest upcoming talents within the music industry that I hear or discover about and to give you a CD single of one of the newest talents for more notice for them and latest news on the people and updates and pictures of them.

Your promise to read and send in your opinions or complaints on how I can improve my magazine what it lacks what it needs less of and what other suggestions you have for the magazine and weather you know anyone I should meet include in the next issue

Publishing schedule: Every 2 Weeks

Cost of local magazine publishing £500 for around 200 copies

What you get in this music magazine is a incite into to many different artists and bands inspiration in the music business and what they hope to achieve with their musical talents. You will also get a single or download for the feature artists or the feature bands. Another thing you will get is interviews and gig and concert times for the unknown and professional bands.

Ideal Reader Profile

Ideal Reader Profile

This is my ideal reader profile describing the kind of music that will be in my magazine and the type of people it will appeal to.

The type of music my magazine will be mainly based on is indie/alternative but it will also touch up on other types of music that has been closely linked to indie and alternative in the modern day such as drum & bass and the child of drum and bass, Dubstep. The magazine will apply to both boys and girls around the age of 14-19, reason being these genres of music are widening by doing remix’s of other genres which is attracting many new listeners to the music types. Also another thing are other indie bands like all time low and you me at six doing covers of songs like poker face by Lady Gaga and umbrella by Rhianna, these may not be to some peoples tastes but it does attract more people. The artists in my magazine are all different from each other but are all in the music business for the same reason fun and love for music. We have The Audacity who are an alternative band because at this current time they are only covering current songs and are in the process of writing there own songs. Then there is Jess a lone singer who likes to cover songs especially songs by Paramore. Finally Aron who is a music producer and producing of every genre of music remix’s in Dubstep and Drum & Bass versions. So my magazine covers many peoples interests and has a board target audience as my ideal readers.
