Music Magazine Proposal

I aim to make a magazine of the indie-alternative genre. Inside I ideally want live music reviews, album and single reviews, interviews with the featured music artists and information on artists to look out for.

The target audience I think this type of magazine should/would attract is people ranging from fifteen to about twenty five. This audience usually are interested in going to see live bands and this genre is becoming ever more popular with this age group.
Eg. High School Students, College Students and University Students.

My magazine will be available in most shops but will aslo be available in small indipendant music shops.

School Magazine Ideas

Possible Names:

• in the KNOW
• Switch
• Connect
• HGG (Harrogate Grammar Gazette)

I think I will chose 'in the KNOW' as i feel this shows that the readers will feel as though they are up to date and all knowing as to what's happening in and around school.

Possible Colours:

• White and black - simple colour scheme
• White with lime green and black - simple yet adding a lively colour to grab attention
• White with red and black - classic newspaper style colouring

I think I will choose the white, lime green and black colour option as I feel I need an eye catching colour on the front page so that it looks appealing to the readers and also it will give it more of a 'young' feel.

Possible Fonts:

• Georgia
• Arial
• Times New Roman
• Courier

I think for the main font I will choose 'Georgia' as it looks professional and high end. I might use 'Arial' for maybe sub-headings on the contents page.
