My indie/rock magazine entail ideas - Enrollment Work

My indie/rock  magazine ideas

The target audience for my magazine will be males and females aged from 16-30. I have chosen this age range because similar magazines to my genre, such as NME. I am not aiming it at younger teenagers due to the fact my magazine will be sophisticated by exploring the depths of musicians and music, and not just eye catching and 'fun'. My target audience will have a music taste that mainly consists of bands such as arctic monkeys and imagine dragons.

There are not many magazines that fit into the indie rock genre compared to the amount of magazines that are available for the pop genre. My genre combines the genre of indie music and rock music together to form one genre. This is what makes my magazine unique from others and how it fills the gap of hybrid genre music magazines in the market .I will represent my chosen genre by applying the correct conventions to the visual style of my magazine. These include the representation of the musician and the connotations portrayed. These will allow me to make my magazine unique, but representing the genre correctly.

I am going to make sure there is:

·         A large image taking up the majority of the page

·         bold text over the top of it so that it is clearly visible.

I will represent my genre by having a specific focus on the musician that creates  that genre of music. I have analysed other magazines that are similar to the 'indie rock' genre, and I have gained a perspective of how I can represent aspects of the genre just like these magazines have done as well.

Mood Board

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Kevin and this is my AS Media Studies blog where i will be posting regularly about my progress through my AS course leading up to my final exam. As you can see above is my mood board which is a collection of images to express my ideas on what my final magazine front cover will entail. As you have probably discovered by now the main focus of my blog will be indie/alternate music, but you will also see indie fashion and design.

I chose indie music as the focus for my blog and magazine because it is the main type of music that i enjoy and listen to on a daily basis. Also indie fashion is a type of fashion that i also like, follow and wear myself so this was a main factor that contributed toward my decision on what my blog will include.

I have a model and a main design for my final magazine in mind, and i am looking forward to actually carrying out the photo shoots and digital designing that is to come. My design ideas have been influenced and helped along a lot by my research and creating this mood board. The pictures included in my mood board will be the direct influencer to my final product. So if you like what you see then this will be the blog for you!

Thanks for reading
