Medium Close up

Weekly-The magazine will be produced and distributed all in one week with the latest news and gigs

Monthly- A larger magazine with information and articles from the previous month and upcoming months gigs/festivals

Mood Board – Analysis

The reason I have chosen The colours that I will use in my magazine will hold consistent of red white and the image background as it is for my front cover of the magazine. I will have red text for the headline which will be on the top of the page and spread across the middle of the page. Hopefully when my magazine becomes more popular I will be able to cover some of the masthead like Kerrang and NME do. Red- It is associated with energy, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

White- It is associated with purity which is what Shutters want to be as we produce an honest interview in our magazine with hard working musicians to get there story across.

Font style Ideas

This is the masthead font style I have chosen because I believe that it is similar to my magazine of inspirations font and Steve Neale repeat 1980 has proven that this is a popular style of font.

I did select this font as a potential font style however I think that it is too much like the Kerrang style of music and heavier rock music than my rock/indie music magazine

This is similar to the Lemon Milk font however I did not chose this one as my final font because I see it as being too young to appeal to my target audience age group.

Other Font Styles

The main headline font style I have used for my magazine is Myriad Pro in bold text style. I have used this font style for my magazine because I follows the Steve Neale ‘repeat’ 1980 of NME magazine. Following on as NME have used a very similar font style for their headlines for many years shows that it is a successful and well respected font to sue for headline and easy to read for the reader as it is very clear bold and sharp look to the work Myriad Pro-

House Style

On the front cover I will have the social media and contact information in the bottom right corner

The bar code will also be in the same corner so that it is all in one place and if anyone wants to get in contact with me they can find it easily by the bar code. The date of the magazines release date will be in the same place as other magazine like NME do this i.e. 12th April 2014 Finally the name of the issue will be on this white tab at the bottom of the page

House Style

The colours that I will use in my magazine will hold consistent of red white and the image background as it is for my front cover of the magazine. I will have red text for the headline which will be on the top of the page and spread across the middle of the page. Hopefully when my magazine becomes more popular I will be able to cover some of the masthead like Kerrang and NME do.

Red- It is associated with energy, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

White- It is associated with purity which is what Shutters want to be as we produce an honest interview in our magazine with hard working musicians to get there story across.

Hand drawn Drafts Front Cover

The masthead for my magazine will be SHUTTERS and will be in the Lemon Milk font style I am going to make the font colour white as it follows the house style of magazines of inspiration like Q and NME

The puff promotion I have included on the front cover shows that you have a chance to win a prize if you purchase and read the magazine. By having the prize near the middle of the magazine it makes the reader read the whole magazine until the end.

The strapline for my magazine is new music discovered in which I want my magazine to focus on new artist and bands upcoming in British Music industry

The main Headline I have chosen is `The Killers` This will be in a bold red font across the middle of the page which follows the house style I have created for the magazine also by using red it also symbolises love and passion which my magazine is for music.

The barcode is in the bottom right corner with the social media sites my magazine will be on keeping readers up to date with latest news and information about what's going to be in the next issue

By having another two images in the top right corner it can quickly establish what other bands feature within the magazine and are available as a poster. This is another way of getting readers by offering free posters inside the magazine

The main image on my magazine will be one of the leading indie/rock artists of the last ten years `The Killers` this gives the magazine the star appeal to attract a early large audience to the magazine.

Hand drawn draft (DPS)

The main headline for my magazine I have chosen is `Alex Turner` on the myriad pro font style because it is very simple and basic which Alex Turner represents about the way he makes music and doesn’t want the attention on him as it is a band. It will be in black font colour because this is matches his band logo. The Main Interview will be on the right hand side of the page because it is split up evenly with half of the page and makes it easy to read. The font colour I will be using for this will be Read for questions which matches the background colour for SHUTTERS masthead and black for the answers to establish the difference.

The stand first font my magazine is a introduction about what the Arctic Monkeys have done over the past year and just recapping what s happening and an introduction what the interview will be about

The page number I have chosen for the double page spread is 49-50 because this is directly in the middle of the page and it is what NME also do `Repeat` Steve Neal 1980 By having the dps in the middle of the magazine it allows the reader to reach the middle and then carry on reading the whole magazine

The main image for the DPS is the artist with their arms out with no background which will convey the simplistic life that the band want to live but are getting frustrated with everything the media attention they are getting for things away from music

The pull quote is at the top of the page below the main headline to introduce the start of the main interview with the band

The puff promotion I have included on the front cover shows that you have a chance to win a prize if you purchase and read the magazine. The promotion I have offered on this draft are tickets to see Alt-J live which is a very popular band after there newly released album being very popular across the country giving the Richard Dyer Star Appeal to Readers purchasing the magazine The main headline and image for my magazine will be one of the leading rock/indie artist e.g. Arctic Monkeys with lead singer Alex Turner being the focus of the interview inside the magazine and double page spread.

Hand drawn draft (DPS)

I have decided to place the main interview on both the left and ride hand side of the page because the interview has a lot of content I believe the reader will want to know about and this is the only way it can be put onto the DPS. The font colours will be red for the questions and black for the answer as red is the house colour of my magazine and black is and easy to read colour on a white background. At the bottom of the page in the middle I will have the social media sites and issue no. to show where to get the latest news and information for the magazine and what other issues they can purchase if the have not read the magazine before.

The page number I have chosen for the double page spread is 49-50 because this is directly in the middle of the page and it is what NME also do `Repeat` Steve Neal 1980 By having the dps in the middle of the magazine it allows the reader to reach the middle and then carry on reading the whole magazine

The stand first font my magazine is a introduction about what the Killers have been doing for the last ten years and what they have done to get where they are now and the interview will lead onto what they want to do in the future.

The main headline for the double page spread is `A decade of history` as I interview about what hey have done in the last ten years and what they are looking to do in the future and goals the y have set to reach.

The main image for the DPS is to be in the middle of page as it represents that the artists tis the centre of attention and everyone is looking to him to see what the future of The Killers holds.

The pull quote is at the top of the page below the main headline to introduce the start of the main interview with the band

For my main image on the front cover it will be the leading singer from The Killers as for the first issue I release of the magazine it will generate a large target audience due to the Richard Dyer Star Appeal With the puff promotion being in the top left corner below the strapline in a bright circle it stands out from the page being bright and eye catching because if someone Is deciding what magazine they are going to read and they have a chance to win a to prize which is eye catching they are more likely to purchase my magazine.

The main headline I have chosen for my front cover is The Killers in a bold font Myriad Pro with a drop shadow effect on it. In a red font colour with signifies love and passion which the band have for music and want to express this through the interview in my DPS. The strapline for my magazine is New music discovered which is what I want to feature my magazine as I feel that there a lot of artists and Bands in Britain who are not signed yet who should be and I want my magazine to give them the audience the should have.

I have included social media links at the bottom of the page so that readers can keep up to date with what new content will be in the magazine for next months issue

The page number I have decided to use as the same place as NME also by placing the DPS in the middle of the magazine I am Repeating Steve Neale 1980 by following this brand identity it conveys the realism between NME and SHUTTERS

I have split the interview over both pages because I feel that if I just used one page for the interview it would look to cramped and unprofessional. Also by using both sides of the DPS it enabled me to ad more questions and answers from the interview

The main image is going to be in the centre of the page because I believe that by having the image in the middle it puts the focus on the artist or band. Also I will look to do this for future issues to give the brand identity I am looking to get

The main headline for my interview is The Killers in the Myriad Pro font because I like to keep it simplistic for the reader with the font being easy to read and setting out how the interview will be with a simple Q and A.

The stand first for my DPS is about the previous ten years of where they have started and where they are now leading into the interview about where they want to go in the future after they just picked up best festival act award.

Photography plan

Test Photography

As part of my test Photography before I met the artist I wasn’t too sure on what location to use so I tested out the locations to see which one was fit for purpose I found that these images (Test Photography) would not suit the style of the magazine and interview which I was going to carry out.

Final Idea

I have chosen the name SHUTTERS for my magazine because I feel that with this it represent being away from people just focussing on the music and discovering new bands which you can be proud about before the mainstream audience have heard them. Also the price of the magazine £.50 which I believe is a cheap price for a monthly music magazine with the latest news and interviews with upcoming bands compared to NME who are a weekly magazine that charge £2.50 which is £10 a month.

After completing this learning outcome I feel that I have been able to create fit for purpose content as pre production material to assist me when creating the magazine during the production process. To help me with the magazine pages the graphic layout will help me insert interview strapline and images in specific locations that I have planned which will save time as the plan has already been created for the work.
