Image for front cover: The main image will be of myself as some sort of music artist, I will use props such as a guitar to highlight the genre of music. The camera shot I will use is mid long shot because this is what you would see when talking to a person face to face therefore making it more personal. The main image will be edited on Photoshop and will use mid-key lighting.
Image for contents page: I will again use a prop for the image that will feature on my contents page and use the same artist to show it is the main story for this particular issue. This image will use slightly darker lighting to relate to the music.
Image for Double page spread: The image for my DPS will again be of the same artist this will also feature the guitar prop to ensure the photo-shoot looks the same. This image will use brighter lighting to highlight the artist. The mode of address will be indirect and looking at the article to direct more attention to the interview.
Secondary images: The secondary images will be of gigs I have been too and photographed of unknown/undiscovered bands. These photographs stick with the genre of my magazine and shows difference on the front cover which sticks to the conventions of a music magazine. I will use 3 of these images in order to stick to my flat plans and and a conventional layout.
Secondary images for contents page: The images I use on my contents page will be images of gigs that I have taken (original images), these images will reflect the genre of my magazine (Rock/punk). For this I will use 2 sub images which will be used to link in with pages inside my magazine.
colours scheme: The colour scheme I was thinking of using is Reds, blacks and yellows these colours are used on a lot of rock music magazines therefore are appropriate to my genre. Furthermore these colours clearly stand out and will 'pop'.
This colour scheme will be continuos throughout to create a magazine identity.
Masthead:
The masthead colour will be in red with a black outline this will make it clear and easy to read and the readers eyes will be drawn to it. I will place the image slightly over the masthead so that it gives the impression that my magazine is well established and highly respected. The masthead will be placed in the top left 3rd of the magazine, this is usually where the masthead is placed and also it is how you would read a book so therefore the readers eyes will gaze to that first which will make the readers immediately know the name.
Main sell line: the main sell line will read 'upcoming band Queller drive' with a sub-heading of 'first interview with lead singer Beth' this will go on top of the image and act as anchorage.
Headline of the article for double page spread: This will be 'Queller drives into success' this is a play on words of the bands name. therefore creating a humorous and informal feel to the article.
font:
This font is from cool text.com and it is called keen I like this choice of font because it looks like others from rock magazines. This font will be featured throughout giving my magazine a identity.
puff:
the puff will be advertising free concert tickets to the concert of my main storyline which will persuade people to buy the magazine. This will only feature on my front cover page.
Cover lines: the cover lines will be of existing bands that match with the rock/punk genre that I have chosen. This will only feature on my front cover.
Ripped paper will also feature on each of my pages (front cover, contents page and DPS). This will help to create a brand identity.
Double page spread article: this will be written in columns to stick with the conventions of a magazine. This will ensure it is easy to read for the audience and well set out.
