Mood Board

Below is the moodbaord i am going to use to help me design my magazine.

magazine treatment

My magazine will target audiences between 16 and 21. The audience is a niche audience because of the specialism and the small fanbase associated with Heavy Metal. The magazine will be laid out with an equal mix of text and pictures. The themes are associated with the featured bands inside and will therefore use logos and pictures of the bands. Typical features will be the band interviews, music reviews, latest releases and an audience comments page. Potential advertisers include EMP Online – a heavy metal merchandise website, Grindstore – a band merchandise website and upcoming bands who need publicity. The editorial team will be made up of heavy metal enthusiasts and experienced writers so that it is understandable and appeals to the target audience. 

Music magazine ideas

I have 3 ideas about the magazine i want to make for my main task. They are as followed; a heavy metal genre magazine, a specialist guitar magazine, and a rock magazine. The first 2 apply to niche audiences while the rock magazine applies to a more mainstream audience. The 3 music magazines have influenced my ideas through the use of color, cover lines, puffs and their appeal to me.
