Preliminary task

MY MAGAZINE

Double page spread NME

This double page spread layout conventional of a magazine, the image is on the right side of the page taken up with a strong image so when the magazine is being read the image jumps out and causes the audience to stop. The feature headline portrays the nme style of the front cover, bold and exciting, the news paper clipping text. the Grey and dismal background contrasts to Lilys unique attitude. The use of the checked shirt ties in with the colour scheme of the whole magazine. Her body positioning and use of a smirk facial expression where she is directly looking at the camera, this holds the reader on the page and entices them to find out more.

NME Front Cover-Lily Allen Edition.

This is NMEs logo which is the original logo. NME stands for New Musical Express. This logo stands out as it is designed using bright colours and capital letters. The Mast Head (logo) is used to advertise and brand this magazine. The main image features A list celebrity,Lily Allen, the image catches your eye and pops out the page as she is extremely pale and disorientated. The image can be branded as PUNK and is a code for diversity, diverse to her usual prom dress trainer combo. I think her hair being black and her face pale white will also draw readers in more than a black and white image would. Main Cover Line: NME has used the monochrome effect to draw in the readers attention. The close up shot of lily uses contrast of black and white which relates to the main story 'LILY ALLEN TAKES ON THE WORLD. The pull quote on this particular magazine is 'I cant keep living like this' this is a very clever convention of the magazines design as it only uses a quote that makes the reader intrigued about the double page spread. The font style is 'blocky' suggesting a classic font as the magazine is established. The convention of the 'puffs' on the right hand side gives the readers more information and an insight into the magazines contents. There is also a strap line on the bottom stating the bands and artists features in this addition of NME.

The Current Industry! Whats around?

As our brief is a current music magazine that fits into a gap in the market I have to research what already exists in the current industry. What music magazines are already around? What genre they focus on and what audience they appeal too. By completing this research I will be able to create a magazine which appeals to an audience which is essentially 'deprived' of a music magazine.

When typing into www.google.com- popular music magazines.
I found a list of popular music magazine giving information on there genre and audience.

Genres are highlighted in green :)

1.Alternative Press (or commonly referred to on the website and in the magazine as AP)
The genre is Alternative/Rock Magazine.
The magazine features bands such as Paramore, A Day to Remember All Time Low,
The Maine, Family Force 5, Cobra Starship, 3OH!3, Underoath, Gym Class Heroes,
Blink-182, Radiohead, Veruca Salt, Bring Me The Horizon, Rage Against the Machine,
L7, No Doubt,Weezer, Nine Inch Nails, 30 Seconds to Mars.

2.Kerrang! is a rock music magazine published by Bauer Consumer Media in the United
Kingdom. The magazine's name is onomatopoeic and refers to the sound made when
playing a power chord on an electric guitar.

3.Mojo is a popular music magazine published by Bauer, monthly in the United Kingdom.

4.XXL is a Hip-Hop magazine, published by Harris Publications.

5.NME (new music express)

6.Rolling Stone

These were the 6 most popular, Q was another magazine amongst the ones I have heard of.
From my research I can see that rock and hip hop are niche markets and I feel there are already a number of magazines that reach out to the audience and a gap in the market is not yet available. I feel that there is something missing, A magazine involving indie music almost like the magazine A&R but also incorporating features of the more popular music magazines such as Q, MOJO and NME, I feel this magazine would appeal to a wider range of people and the market its ready for a magazine such as this.
