Social Media/ Use of new media

 

This is how my magazine will use social media to promote and keep people up to date with my magazine.

Masthead Designs

 

These are the different designs for the logo I have chosen the name of my magazine "InD". I explain what is good and what is bad about each of them.

Mood Board

This is a mood board to show what influenced the design of my magazine. The images I have put on here show you what type of bands I based my models on, their logos also helped me to chose the mane of my band HA4. the main influence for the name of my magazine "InD" came from NME because it was short and simple which is what I also wanted. I also chose the same colour scheme as the magazines above. My double page spreads are also similar to the ones I have put in this mood board as they are simple and easy to look at, also the big photo on one side makes it look professional. The live lounge pictures are what I want the audience to visualize my artists as. They can perform live and are not artificial.

Cover Lines

My magazine cover lines.

On my magazine I will be putting different sell lines to attract the attention of customers.

these are the ones I have put on my draft:

Main article sell line:

HA4 - The boys talk to us about their past year touring

The following sell lines will all be one after the other to show the content of the magazine:

Dayna Willis - 

Bethan Boyden - New Boyfriend

Michael Bennett - Is he really leaving the limelight?

Featured artists:

Arctic Monkeys

The 1975

The Kooks

Florence and the machine

The Killers

I then have in the top right cover of my front cover in big letters "Win Reading Tickets" to add a unique selling point to my magazine which others may not offer. 

Audience Data

I have had a look at the feedback from my survey and this has helped me decide what style my magazine will be. I have also chosen things like the price and additional content from this feedback.

Existing Mastheads

This is an analysis of existing music magazine mastheads. I talk about the target audience and what effects they have on them and why they attact certain people. I have taken some inspiration from some of these names for my own magazine.

Lesson 18

In todays lesson I made some adjustments to my magazine. It is going well so far and I have used all my own pictures. I need to contine onto the other page and do my front cover before next friday. In the past few weeks i have been doing my production logg on a powerpoin, this is it so far.

Draft of my feature article

This is the type of article I want to write for my magazine. I have done a draft which I can edit later but I have put this in my draft magazine.

Feature Pages

I have been looking at some feature pages to get some inspiration for my own.

Ideas

These are a few of my ideas for the names of my indie music magazine and the name for the boyband that my feature article will be about. I need to decide what one I will be using so I can move on to creating my magazine with the names on.
