MUSIC MAGAZINE COVER IDEAS

Emily Capon

TEXT/HOUSE STYLE

Colours will contrast the genre of my magazine for example using dark but

vibrant colours e.g., white, blue, reds(earth tones.) This is key for an indie

based magazine as I found these colours upon other indie genre magazines

when I did my own research.

Text font; Formal but different representing the genre , the text will be edited

so the letters a long in width and height, simple but they stand out attracting

youth of an older age and young adults.

Text language; short and snappy however the right amount of text is key as

Indie magazines are clustered in text however, I will make mine easy to read

and positioned in an order which doesn’t come across as messy.

TARGET AUDIENCE/ GENRE

The music genre of my magazine will be indie music style for example this includes, Florence, Arctic

Monkeys, 1975, Lorde.

I chose to do this genre as its different to the other magazines such as pop, rock and classical magazines

are common and I wanted to challenge the typical music genre styles and do a genre which is different

but appealing to those interested in the music genre which is becoming more popular. Indie music is

Rock/House music so has a wide audience I will address this by key components upon my magazine.

Target audience Older teenagers 16 – middle age adults due to my research into the genre itself and the

artists who are in this category of music. The age of target audience I have chosen isn't a niche market

and is varied, to make sure my target audience is clearly addressed and has been approached I will edit

my house style in a formal yet youthful manner. Furthermore by using content and text which can appeal

to younger generation for example a festival line up and text appealing to young adults such as gigs for

certain artists for example Arctic Monkeys and Blur. My target audience will appeal to both female and

males, I will do this by using images of both male and female models which will appeal to both genders.

MAIN IMAGE

Female youthful artist as the model , posing that can come across she’s

listening to Indie genre music and dancing. She will appear in clothing that is

youthful and fun giving the connotation of my target audiences likes other

than music which I researched. I will edit my image into a blue scale to give

the indie/ indie rock vibe. Indie music is rock/house music which means I can

challenge the genre in different ways I will do this by my model in my image. It

will clearly have the rock look, however the dress my model will wear is fun

and not necessarily black which is what someone who listens to rock may wear

but as this is Indie music it is appropriate. I found this out due to my

independent research and questioning those who listen to this music in

particular.
