Magazine research/Brainstorm

Here I decided to research some of the most popular magazines around that have different types of genres of music so I could learn more about the subject. I learnt that most of the popular magazines are either rock/indie/alternative and also all types of genre. By doing this spider chart it has made me more sure to base my magazine on the indie genre.

Why I Chose Print?

All in all I chose print out of either that or video as the previous task we did involved those two elements in which we had to use. I chose print as I found doing the magazine a lot easier to do and more fun. As I chose Art for an A level subject, taking photographs is what interests me and as we had to do this for our magazine I found it something I could care and relate to a lot more than doing Video. It was a bit hard and frustrating as I wasn't aware of how to use Adobe Photo Shop, but then once I got to use with it, it became a lot easier even though there is more to learn. As I've already learnt a lot about how to use the program, in the future it will eventually get a lot easier for me. Also by learning how to use it gives me another skill, making my knowledge of computer work wider.

Indie Magazine

I've researched various magazines to try and use a cover as a style model so I can base my magazine style like my model. By doing this I think it will help me gain ideas and inspiration to make my magazine suitable for its audience and genre of music. 

I found this magazine called "Indie" which is a style magazine for teenagers +, even though its a style magazine, I find it eye catching and modern and as my music magazine will be about Indie music. I think if I use the techniques this magazine has used, my one will be successful too.

Here Indie Magazine has a bold title which has a demanding font by it being bold and big. The picture of the girls face is fashionable, young and modern which is one my aims to attract the younger generation. Her image is eye catching and unique which  would grab readers attention and also people could aspire to her and copy her style. 

I like the subheading "Don't don't you want me" as the font for it is original as if someone wrote it, its like graffiti.
