My magazine will be named ‘VOLUME’, I had three potential names for my magazine, so I made a poll and Volume received the most votes. The definition of ‘volume’ as stated in the dictionary is ‘to be expressive or meaningful’. I thought this would be suitable for a music magazine because people especially music artists, express their thoughts and feelings through music. My magazine will be an alternative rock music magazine aimed at a target audience of young people aged 16-24, males and females who have a passion for music. More than likely, it will appeal more to the male audience due to the genre of music and the colours that I plan to use. I will produce a front cover which will consist of a medium close-up of a three member punk/rock band. I will also create a contents page showing what I intend to have inside the magazine and finally a double page spread featuring a different band than what is on the front cover of my magazine. I have chosen to write a feature about them rather than an interview. The main colours (house style) I intend to use will be; black, red, yellow and white. These are quite masculine colours so will appeal more to the male audience.
I plan to use three people for my front cover; two males and one female, to form a punk/rock band. This will then appeal to both males and females through ideal self and ideal partner. I plan to use a black background with the band wearing brightly coloured punk type clothes, for example; tight fitting tops etc. This well then contrast with the background. I don’t intend for any major props to be used although I may have the female artist wearing a few jewellery accessories such as bracelets, necklaces etc. However, for the contents page and double page spread pictures, I am wanting to use microphones and head phones, to connote the love for music. I will go out and take other photos for my contents page, and double spread. I am planning to have pictures of potential “solo artists” to indicate that the magazine is open to all types of alternative/rock. I will have a picture of the band that I am using for the double page spread article on the contents page and a different picture/s of the band for the actual double page spread. The photos for my front cover will have to be portrait as this is generic in all music magazines. However, for my contents page and double page spread, I will vary with portrait and landscape shots.
For my double page spread I am planning on writing and article or a profile about the band. This will include; how the band started out, their steps to fame, their lives before being in a band etc. I shall have to research similar articles in music magazines such as “Kerrang” and “NME”. The text will be set out in columns with the lead being at the top. I will have a picture of the band on one side which could also be used a poster and a few pictures above the text. The text will be white and the same font as what is used on the contents page. I will continue the house style throughout the magazine by having a black background on my double page spread and it consisting of the same colours used on the front cover and contents. I will make sure I use drop capitals, by-lines and picture credits where possible.
If I take any high angle shots, I will have to ensure that I have someone who is able to hold me in the appropriate and safe way to make sure I don’t fall off the table/chair I would be standing on. I shall use the white backdrop provided by College as by background and use the lighting/camera they provide as well. I intend to take some out of College shots too, such as at any gigs I may attend or places where people are performing like Rotherham town centre.
