MUSIC MAGAZINE COVER IDEAS
Emily Capon
TEXT/HOUSE STYLE
Colours will contrast the genre of my magazine for example using dark but
vibrant colours e.g., white, blue, reds(earth tones.) This is key for an indie
based magazine as I found these colours upon other indie genre magazines
when I did my own research.
Text font; Formal but different representing the genre , the text will be edited
so the letters a long in width and height, simple but they stand out attracting
youth of an older age and young adults.
Text language; short and snappy however the right amount of text is key as
Indie magazines are clustered in text however, I will make mine easy to read
and positioned in an order which doesn’t come across as messy.
TARGET AUDIENCE/ GENRE
The music genre of my magazine will be indie music style for example this includes, Florence, Arctic
Monkeys, 1975, Lorde.
I chose to do this genre as its different to the other magazines such as pop, rock and classical magazines
are common and I wanted to challenge the typical music genre styles and do a genre which is different
but appealing to those interested in the music genre which is becoming more popular. Indie music is
Rock/House music so has a wide audience I will address this by key components upon my magazine.
Target audience Older teenagers 16 – middle age adults due to my research into the genre itself and the
artists who are in this category of music. The age of target audience I have chosen isn't a niche market
and is varied, to make sure my target audience is clearly addressed and has been approached I will edit
my house style in a formal yet youthful manner. Furthermore by using content and text which can appeal
to younger generation for example a festival line up and text appealing to young adults such as gigs for
certain artists for example Arctic Monkeys and Blur. My target audience will appeal to both female and
males, I will do this by using images of both male and female models which will appeal to both genders.
MAIN IMAGE
Female youthful artist as the model , posing that can come across she’s
listening to Indie genre music and dancing. She will appear in clothing that is
youthful and fun giving the connotation of my target audiences likes other
than music which I researched. I will edit my image into a blue scale to give
the indie/ indie rock vibe. Indie music is rock/house music which means I can
challenge the genre in different ways I will do this by my model in my image. It
will clearly have the rock look, however the dress my model will wear is fun
and not necessarily black which is what someone who listens to rock may wear
but as this is Indie music it is appropriate. I found this out due to my
independent research and questioning those who listen to this music in
particular.
