Music Magazine Example

Music Magazine Example

This is an example of a music magazine, from hard rock music channel kerrang. The example is a perfect example of a music magazine. Kerrang is a magazine aimed at an audience of rock and metal fans. Due to this genre of music the audience is a niche audience. The magazine is released once a week, meaning it must sell well every week.

The features that make this music magazine effective, and attractive are......

1. Main image, is large and is the thing that grabs your eye the most, the person is also very recognisable to the audience that the magazine is aimed at. The man is Gerrard Way who is the front man of the punk outfit My Chemical Romance.
2. The colour scheme is very attractive to the audience, due to the use of complementeray colours that also match the main image and mast head. Red, black white and yellow.
3. The Masthead is easy to read and stands out to the reader as the biggest text size of all text on the page.
4. Simple coverlines, not to many not to few, easy to understand what the magazine contains.

Student Magazine Proposal

This is the proposal for my student magazine. In this proposal I will note all the things I would like to include in my student magazine. From title to main article everything in this is my first main ideas, which will all be crucial to the final product.

·       The title I have decided on is Student Life. I have chose this title for the simple reason that’s what the magazine is about. What could be more appropriate than to call the magazine Student Life. My initial idea was “ U student” But decided against it because it looked childish.

·      My chosen audience Is people who go to college ranging from the ages of 16-20. I have chosen this age group because the majority of people in college are this age.

·      The magazine will be all about general college life, looking at specific lessons each week. The magazine will have sections dedicated to student life problems eg drugs, relationships or bullying.

·      I plan to have five cover lines on the left third. The ideas of cover lines are.

1.   Top 25 revison tips.

2.   Down to earth with physics

3.   A teachers guide to the perfect pencil case.

4.   The pupils top 5 college meals.

5.   The southdowns Low Down.

·      I want to use an informal font in which the colour matches what my main image colours are.

·      I have decided on a tag line saying just after the title. “It’s a Hard Life….”

·      The magazine will be released every week due to the constant change around college.

·      The main image will be a close up on one of my mates, showing his shoulders and up.
