Rock Music Magazine Proposal

Rock Music Magazine Proposal

I intend to produce a new rock music magazine called FullyDistorted, with my design covering a house style that will be present in the front cover right through to double-page spread articles. This house style will remain simplistic and contrasting to catch the reader's eye and reflect the classic style of music they enjoy. The magazine will be aimed at teenagers and young adults aged 16 to 30 who are interested in current and classic rock music. Due to the target audience, the features will primarily be based on artists and the songs that they will be enthusiastic about. However, my articles will also encompass older acts and new stories that will be of interest to the reader as well. This would be covered in the News section of the magazine too. There will be a focus on imagery over text, and by focusing on one main artist my use of photographs will promote their importance on the front cover. Due to the classic style of the genre, I do not intend to use a flashy, colourful house style, and will perhaps concentrate on black and white or individual colours. I will intend to use a variety of images so that there is not one specific style of artist in the magazine - but a clear respresentation of all the important artists at the same time. The magazine will fetch for around two to three pounds, as this is the price range the target audience are most willing to spend for a magazine of their interest. My budget to produce the images and features of my magazine will be £500.
