Coursework Stage 2 Planning

Stage 2 Planning


Describe your idea for the brief:
I am going to make and indie/rock magazine aimed at readers 15-30, I will use most of the major conventions e.g. masthead and main image. The images I will use will be of the band I am a member of. I will make sure I get good images of good quality for my magazine.
Genre/ sub genre:
The genre of my magazine will be of the indie/rock genre. Some bands I am inspired by are people that I created my inspirational texts blog post about, here:  (http://lawrencenormanasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/inspirational-texts.html) they are bands like arctic monkeys and the vaccines.
Target audience:
The target audience of my magazine is both males and females aged 15-30 who are in the ‘indie/indie rock scene’ who are generally people who go to festivals like Leeds etc, and people currently in the ‘mod’ and others scene.
Major conventions:
 I will use are; a masthead across the top of my page, with the main image over the top of it in places, the main cover line along the bottom. I will have subheads along the right hand side of the page and Essential info in the bottom right
Original images:
My images are going to of the band I am a member of. I will have images of guitarists, instruments, and shots of the microphone and the singer as the main image.
Potential difficulties/ Plan B:
Finding the right font I want (having a backup font)
Getting images that are good quality, look good and being the right size. I will make sure I have backup plans to get good images.
