Initial Ideas Of Music Magazine

The genre which I will be using for my music magazine is indie rock or pop as this is the genre of magazine I am personally interested in, therefore would have more experienced when creating the magazine itself and have a various amount idea I already want to use, The star image of the magazine would stereo-typically be a boy/man as this is usually the gender which is used within a indie rock magazine. The person should be wearing black jeans, indie clothing e.g. funky t-shirts or a white shirt, with the look of messy hair or a messy look. A perfect example of this star image would be someone such as Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) or Matty Healey (The 1975).

The fonts will be blockly, large and bold as this usually used on the conventions on a rock magazine, for example NME have large, bold font as their title. The colours that will be used are black, red, white, dark colours such as grey, burgundy or purple, this is because these colours are typically used within indie rock magazine themes such as NME, have a black and red theme throughout. These colours will also be used because it is vintage and cool colours which connotes aggression and suits the form of the magazine.

Ideally, my music magazine will be published weekly as this is usually the time period that music magazines get published. The mode of a address I will use is an informal, sarcastic and relaxed as this is usually the approach indie rock magazines use.


My possible titles for my magazine include 'IRM', 'R-M' or simply indie rock. I have found trying to find a successful and interesting title hard, however, these are the titles which I have finally decided. I believe these titles are successful as these mostly relate to indie rock magazines and will be clear to the reader that they are indie rock, as this is what the initials stand for, These titles sound like a professional indie rock magazine.
