Preliminary Ideas

Due to my research, we have come up with some sort of preliminary ideas for our music magazine.

An idea for the name of the magazine is "The Now", we chose this name because my target audience is for people within the age range of 16-23 year olds, We thought that younger people will listen to current music, hence why we called the magazine "The Now".
The magazine is aimed at both genders, this will appeal to a larger audience, thus increasing the popularity of the magazine.
The colours we are propsing to use are dark red and dark blue, this will hopefully keep the magazine looking fairly formal, but modern with a hint of informality.
We have discussed some possible regular features that will appear within the magazine, these are
-"What's Now"- A current insight into the current music world (weekly news)
-"Fashion Now"- A different band each week gives fashion advice.
-"Fan mail"- As seen in NME, allows readers of the magazine to write in and share their views.
-"Album Reviews"- Albums are reviewed each week and are rated out of five stars.
-"Featured artist article"- Interviews with the featured artist/band.

The font we are going to use is that of a formal/ relaxed look, similar again to that of NME.
The types of music and possible artists we are going to cover are a wide range of modern artists, with the majority being Indie Rock bands due to the knowledge We have gained from our research. The range of artists we have for ideas at the moment are.

-Kings of Leon
-Mumford and Sons
-Two Door Cinema Club
-The Wombats
-The Libertines.

The ideology we are trying to attempt to embed into the magazine a features such as an in depth report with the band, gig and concert reviews and that we go by the idea that the readers are very passionate about the music.
