Indie Rock Artists

For planning, I researched the most popular and greatest indie rock artists to include within my contents page on the band index. Therefore, this will make my contents more successful as by using the most popular artists and bands, this will make the magazine attractive to the audiences as more known names will be included and more readers will want to buy the magazine. The more popular music included, the most buyers as there will be more fans of the artists. This is a typical convention used within music magazines, as they use the most popular artists or bands and the most interesting story lines, as this is attractive to buyers.

Instagram Account

I created an instagram account for my media magazine, which will also be included within the contents page as a contact. The instagram username is @irmmagazine also, the same as the twitter account username which I created. The more contact included will make my magazine more successful as it will attract more audience as it will look more professional and interesting as numerous amount of effort has been used in order to create this indie rock music magazine.

Twitter Account

I created an account for twitter, with a username of @irmmagazine which will be used on my magazine on the contents page as a contact, so the audience can keep up to date with the latest issues and news of music included within my indie rock magazine. This account will make my magazine more successful as it will look more professional.

Arctic Monkeys Contents Page

This is the one of the photographs, I took whilst at Arctic monkeys, which is the most successful one as the mise on scene on the stage is positioned well, for example the lighting, cameras and equipment such as microphones and guitars. This photo is also successful as the logo of Arctic monkeys is in the background and the image is clear and Alex turner is facing the camera, which makes the image more successful and attractive to buyers. This photo will also be useful within my magazine as this is an image which is typically used within the genre of my magazine, photos from concerts and gigs are used on the contents page of indie rock music magazines. The fact that Arctic monkeys are a popular band, will also make the magazine more attractive to buy and interest readers.

Arctic Monkeys

This video was recorded my phone, whilst Arctic monkeys was performing at Finsbury park, which I also took pictures which I am going to use for another image on my contents page, as this pictures would look successful and professional on the contents page, as pictures from gigs are typically used within this genre of music magazines.

Photo shoot Equipment

 The model dressed in a black stussy dress with stussy writing on the back and smaller on the front, with a striply black and white top underneath the dress, which is a typically worn by indie rock/pop artists, which are girls. The model was also wearing black leggings and black visible socks with a doc martin look-a-like shoes, which were designed with a patterned. These clothes were successful for the model as this denotes the model is dressed indie and suits the genre of my magazine. The props used were an burgundy ausoutic guitar, which is a typical instrument used by indie artists. The model was postioned against a brick wall and a stone floor, which is successful as this looks relaxed and would go well on the contents page.
