Magazine proposal
1. Proposal for music magazine:
The name of my magazine will be “Muzik Manic”. For the genre of my music magazine I have chosen
to do Pop/R&B. The magazine will include interviews with artists from the genre I have chosen (eg.
Bruno Mars, Rihanna, One Direction etc). Each weekly issue will include regulars such as reviews of
the latest songs/albums and competitions to win signed CDs or concerts tickets. The cover star will
be the artist who is no.1 in that week’s music chart, if it stays the same then the cover will be of a
different artist. It will also include features on new comers and artists that are gaining popularity.
The magazine will also have a fashion section of the latest trends and how you can get the look the
artists have for a cheaper price. As for the design of the magazine, it will follow the standard designs
of magazines; the masthead will be in big bold letters on the top of the page so that it catches the
attention and is easy to read, the featured artists image will be a medium shot.
The target audience for my magazine will be for 16 to mid 20 year olds and will mainly be for the
female audience. Since the magazine will be aimed at students and working people it will not be too
expensive.
Colour scheme
2. This font gives of a more disco, club music feel
which does not match the concept of my
Artistica
magazine.
Euro Time Burner
I’ve chosen to use this font for my masthead.
Although it is a bit hard to read it is eye
catching. The font would draw the audience
Euro Illuminate in and if they cannot figure out what it says, it
is likely that they will pick it up and have
closer look - meaning more chances of
looking through the content as well.
Slant
This font leans more towards the rock genre.
