LIIAR analysis of the brief
My music magazine will be based on the ‘Indie’ genre and other sub genres and related music. Due to the genre of my magazine my masthead will link with the style. My magazine will be called Amplify; because of this title I will have a speaker or amplifier in the typography of the masthead. This will further represent what my magazine is about which is important. The title ‘Amplify’ links with the amplification of music at gigs and other ways of making sounds, and sound is the music. The masthead will also be the logo of the magazine so it will be used in a smaller size around contents and the double page spread of the magazine. The language of the magazine will apply to a youthful audience with use of slang and other words that would apply to a 15-25 year old who is into Indie rock. There will be sub-headings listing some major stories to what the magazine will include like most music magazines similar. The font used in the magazine will be the same, but all titles and sub-headings will be either bold or in a different font linking with the main masthead on the front cover. The main image will either be in MCU or in medium shot depending on how many people will be in the image, they will be holding instruments to show that it is a band. The front cover image either way will be clear and have a plain backdrop; this will cause attention to be aimed at the image of the band/ artist like most music magazines.
There will be a persistent house-style sticking to two or three colours so it doesn’t look too busy with excessive use of colours. The colours used will be bright especially in the masthead. This is important in the magazine being eye catching.
The contents page will be laid out similar to the front cover. There will be images spread across to page linking to the page numbers, this will be helpful and will convey more information about what parts of the magazine will contain. With my target audience being into the genre of music the magazine is about, my magazine will act as an advertisement for new and upcoming musicians with information of tours and gig dates. The double page spread will consist of the main story of the magazine; there will be images of the same band/musician that will be on the front cover of the magazine. Information will be in a different layout to the contents page, with it being a double spread. Information will be scattered around the pages to merge to a ‘one page’ idea rather than the double spread being two separate pages. The house style of the magazine will persist into the double spread.
