2. Format:
I will be designing a Magazine which will
include front/back cover and a selective
range of pages. I will design it in
Photoshop which is digital designing
software.
Colour schemes: My magazine needs to
stand out from the rest. This means a
diverse use of colours will be used
3. Working Title:
LOGO: My logo is bold and eye catching which has been
designed to follow the modern design the magazine
portrays.
My working title is ‘Reveal’ and is based around
Electronic Dance Music. I am sticking with this name
as it is catchy and easy to remember.
4. Genre:
My magazine is based around Electronic
Dance Music.
EDM or Electronic Dance Music is a range
of modern music genres which are mostly
produced using software and hardware
like synths and keyboards.
5. Content:
Reveal will contain:
• Tutorials
• Tips and Tricks
• Software/sample reviews
• News
• Exclusive artist interviews
Adverts: Including Adverts sometimes is not the most glamorous; however it
adds to the magazines profit and aged audience. Including adverts which
have an audience aimed at teenagers would help us get more sales.
Popular/new tracks: Including new tracks which have or will be released
soon is key. People are always looking for more music to listen to and
providing possible tracks would help with the magazines popularity.
6. Style or Approach:
My magazine is taking a modern approach for young people.
Teenagers are the biggest group which listens to modern music
genres and it is still growing by a massive rate every day.
The magazine which I would like to contend in the publishing market
is Music Radars range of music magazines. They are the biggest and
most read sold in shops around the world. The most unique one
which foreshadows my approach is Future Music.
Future music has a lot of imagery on each of its pages. Including this
makes it more visual and appealing to the public.
7. Audience:
My magazines audience is mainly teenagers and
producers of young ages. I have chosen this age ranged
because the music industry’s biggest audience has
been found to be ages 12-24.
To make the audience pick up the magazine I will be
designing it in a bold and visual magazine which bright
colours.
8. Length:
My magazine will be big because my audience would want to have
a lot including. When purchasing a magazine it may only last a
week. To solve this, the magazine will have 6 sections. These sections
will be designed for different genres and topics. This allows us to
create more information for each section (there for making it more
popular for a wide range of people)
My magazine will include 4 times the amount of an average
magazine on shop shelves.
(For my project I will be designing: Front cover, Back cover,
Contents, 3 Articles)
9. Legal & Ethical considerations:
Reveal will include multiple genres which could have
different cultures which have been built around them.
Therefor the magazine would respect the cultures and
genres equally.
In addition software of hardware we review would
respect the creators and not promote illegal use of the
products.
The informant has consented to the information being
used in specific ways, for agreed purposes, and by
certain people. Any images of people have given the
magazine permission to include them.
