Proposal

The type of magazine that will be made is a music magazine in a similar form of the NME, http://www.nme.com/magazine. The reason i chose to use the style of the NME magazine was because this is the type of music genre I am interested in is 'independent music'. 

 I am going to follow similar colour schemes to the NME magazine, as I personally think that the colours used compliment each other and make the magazine look more professional. The colours I use will continue throughout the whole magazine to make it recognisable. The image I will be using will be a band, I will be getting them to pose in a welcoming manner directly facing the camera. My magazine will be available in stores and online with EMAG. For my final project the colours will be very similar to the ones used on both of the NME magazines featured in this post, however, the red used in mine will be a very vibrant red mixed with very bright yellow to attract the eye of the target audiences.             

Practice Magazine Cover..

My magazine is going to resemble the successful music magazine NME, it will be set out in a similar way to it. The colour scheme will be stuck to throughout the whole magazine to make it look more professional. To start off with I took a few photos of my friend as a solo artist, and added them onto the front cover. My final project will feature a solo artist. I know that for my final project I will have to take more photos to feature on my front cover and make it more realistic. I then went on to adding the texts and came up with the main sells lines of the magazine, these will feature inside the magazine as the main articles. For my final project I understand that more sell lines and more colours will be used to ensure that the readers attention has been caught. I've decided once it comes round to starting my final project I will use the dark read i have used for the title however, for the sell lines i will use a more vibrant and bright text to ensure it is an eye catching front cover. The font i have used in this practice cover does not stand out enough due to how the effect of it, i will change it to become more bold and large to ensure the viewer sees it in my final project. The background for my final magazine cover is going to be full dark grey colour making the colours of the headlines/sell lines and also the title of the magazine stand out more to potential readers. My finished magazine will have the name "LOOP".

Kerrang! Contents Page Analysis

Marilyn Mason has always been known for his dark/creepy image, this is how the colour scheme of the top half is the relevant colours to use. The bottom half of the page has used bright colours to match the pictures. The colours are always coordinated with previous issues and future issues to make it recognisable. The layout of the contents page is the same in every issue of Kerrang! magazine, this makes it more recognisable and more professional for each issue. The subheading are wrote in yellow to enhance the possibility of the target audience being attracted as they show what will be featured within the magazine. The issue number is located under the title of the page to show people which issue it is and keep them aware of if this have purchased this issue or not. The main image of Marilyn Manson shows that the main article will be about him as he is the most featured artist in this addition, this will attract audience who are most interested in Marilyn Manson's music more than other artists.
