My Central Image

Due to the size of my images I have had to present my photo shoot in 4 Slide Shares, This is the Image I have chosen to use as my Central Image for my Music Magazine.

I have chosen this image because of the pose my model was in. I believe that the fact that Josh was punching gives direct address, also he is looking directly at the camera, also I will have the word 'Exclusive' in front of Josh's' fist and it will be Photo Shopped to look like it has been shattered.

Production Plan

Title: CRANK!

Rationale: The approach of the magazine is very much from the local up and coming bands. Not many adverts in the magazine as I found that that was the biggest thing that put people of music magazines. We will offer opinions and articles; and interviews that will focus on very much what music lovers want to know and ask.

Style: Informal and hip style, using humour directly aiming at our target audience. The magazine is for our teenage music fans ranging up to twenties so ­­­Use of slang and colloquial terms to emphasise the informal tone.

Title Ideas for my Music Magazine

I have chosen the name CRANK! for my music magazine as it is loud and stands out, also I can put a strapline that says "Up the volume" this then pulls my magazine together and I believe would make it stand out.

Coverlines For My Music Magazine

Front Cover Image for my Music MagazineFor my front cover image, I am using a medium close-up shot of a model looking directly out to the audience, I would like my model to be punching towards the camera,... hopefully capturing their individual personality.




This image, ‘Matt Bellamy’ of the lead singer of Muse is perfect example of the image layout I will use for my magazine front cover, when I think about the design of my magazine I would like the word ‘Exclusive’ to be shattered, this will make it look as though Josh has punched it.I have realised that Q magazine is probably the main example of a magazine which matches the same conventions and genre of music of my magazine.

My Target audience

My Target Audience
From my research, I have been able to identify some key features of my intended target audience, which will affect the way in which I structure and produce my magazine.
Age - Between 16-25
Gender - A larger proportion being female, but around 60:40 - This will effect my photography and how I represent stereotypes in my magazine
Hobbies and Interests : Mainly music - buying gig tickets, attending concerts, festivals, travelling (seeing the world around them), the internet - social networking sites (Such as: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube), clothes and fashion, the latest technology - Blackberry, iPhone, iPod, Laptops
Media Influences : many media influences such as, social networking sites, TV dramas aimed at a young target audience (Skins, the Inbetweeners, Misfits) - which create stereotypes of this age which many intend to imitate, newspapers - highlighting young people to be deviant - rebellion
Many would have part time jobs to support excessive needs to keep up with the recent trends - to fit in, which funds their social activities.

I have chosen to create an Indie magazine that is aimed mostly at Females because most Indie magazines, I.E Kerrang!, Q, NME are mostly aimed at males I think that this would make my magazine stand out.
