Main Article Draft

This is my original draft of my feature article. I decided to write my article in a relaxed style as opposed to question and answer as I felt that magazines frequently do this style instead and it provides a lot more entertaining and exciting for the reader to read.

Contents page ideas

This is a powerpoint showing some of the sell lines and the material I plan to include in my magazine. I believe this will help me in creating my final product as I will have a clear idea of what kind of style of writing to include in my magazine as well as the amount of content I am aiming for in order for it to adhere to the codes and conventions of a music magazine.

Cover lines

These represent some of the articles and content that I would expect a music magazine to have. They are of a similar style to music magazines that already exist given the language and style of artists I have used. This will help me when creating my magazine as it will give me good guidelines for the content to have in my magazine and also the style and layout I would like my magazine to have.

Choice of colour scheme

 This is a Voki of my chosen colour scheme for my magazine. I believe it explains as to why I chose the colours of purple, black and white in a brief yet clear summary. This colour scheme enables my magazine to have a professional feel as well as looking simplistic and cool. This clear colour scheme will be useful in the design of my final magazine.

Image Ideas

These are a few image ideas that inspired me with my magazine. They vary with a variety of artists and fashions that I have tried to use as inspiration for my photoshoots.

Magazine masthead font ideas

These are a few font ideas that I had for my masthead of my magazine. I decided to go for Impact (the first font) as I felt it was most bold and eye-catching. However, to make it look a bit more interesting I did put an italic effect on it to make it slightly slanted.

Music Magazine Names

This is a list of possible names for my music magazine. I used these to give me inspiration for the masthead on my final product and my favourite's so far are Breakin, Smash and Indify.


Here is an additional video of me explaining further about the magazine names that I had come up with, what they represent and the name I finally chose.

Magazine mood board

This is my magazine mood board. It shows different types of images that I would include in my magazine, associate with my magazine and also associate with my target audience for my magazine. I believe they give a fair representation into the style and ethos I would imagine my magazine to have.

Analysing my music magazine survey

Analysing my music magazine survey helped me to decide what I will include in my magazine. It allowed me to see what my audience would like in my magazine and I will refer to this when making my final product.

Audience Profile

This is a video of me discussing my ideal audience profile for both skews of my demographic. This will really help me when creating my magazine as I can refer to this video to remind myself of the type of content that my audience would wish to see.
