Name Designs.

These are name ideas for my magazine. I changed the fonts and colours to see what one i liked the best and what one would suit the genre of music that i have chosen to do my magazine on.

Colour- Connotations.

This is a powerpoint on the colours that i have used in my magazine and why i have chosen those certain ones, why and what it means by choosing the colours and where i have used them appropriatley in my magazine. This also shows where the colours that i have chosen have been used in different magazines, magazines that are similar to the 'indie' music genre. The colour connotations is important because it helps me think about what coulours i can use on my front cover, contents and double page spreads. The colours that i have used in my planning of colour connotations are not the colours that i have actually used in my magazine, this is because i wanted my magazine to look different from other 'indie magazines but still fit the connotations of an 'indie' magazine.

My Music Magazine Name Ideas.

Here is some music magazine names that are already out there, i have noticed that the names of the mgazines usually have something to do with what is inside the actual magazine.
Q Magazine
Kerrang!
NME: The New Musical Express
MOJO
Rolling Stone
Wire
Spin

After looking at all of those names i have realised that nearly all of them are short and relativly easy to remeber this made me think that my magazine has to have a name that everyone will remember and catchy.
These are the names that i have come up with:
Playlist
Beso
Beat Route
Flare
Bass
Amplify
Rockit
Eclectic

Mood Board.

This is my mood board, this shows all the things that my target audience likes. It also includes all the clothesthat they like to wear and where they buy their clothes from. I talk about the bands that my target audience would like to listen to and where they would go to see them live or listen to them. Images are the main thing in this powerpoint pictures of gigs and festivals that my target audience would of probably been to. Inspiration is a slide on this powerpoint this shows the images that i like that are already in magazines and album covers, this helped me look at the type of images that NME and Q used so i could take my photos so they would look like mine that i am going to take in the near future. The iamges that i have put on there are things that my audience would relate to if it was that they have the same clothes as my model or that the festivals that i have shown they have been to this will make them wantto buy my magazine because they feel like that they have a connection with the artist on the front cover.

Proposal.

This is my proposal for my magazine that i am yet to make. In this powerpoint i talk about the genre of music that i am going to aim my magazine wround, the publishing company that i want to publish my magazine and audiences age and social types that i expect will want to read my magazine. The genre of music that i chose is important because the way that i make my magzine, what images i use and what artists i chose to use changes what look you go for and what type of person is going to buy your magazine. At the begining of the powerpoint you will see two

Product Research.

In this powerpoint i have evaluated 3 front covers, 3 double page spreads, and three contents pages. I have spoken about the colours, the photos and everything that is on the page that is eyecatching to their target audience. This will help me make my magazine because i can see what other magazines have used and why they have used them. By doing this i think the biggest thing that has helpped me is looking at the types of photos that have been taken and placed in certain places to make the magazine look more proffesional and eyecatching.

Key Concepts Report.

This is a prezi on the key concepts on the magazine NME. I looked at NME's audience, institution, concepts, representations and conventions. In this prezi i talk about all of those in detail allowing me to look at how NME is make and sold to their target adudience, who publishes the magazine and who i would want my magazine to be published by. This made making my magazine and choosing who was going to publish it easier because i knew who published such a well known and like magazine like NME.
