final pieces

Circulation figures

I have researched circulation figures of magazines based around my genre. I have found that magazines such as NME and KERRANG! have decreased. This is a problem as my magazine will be very much like these magazines. However i can make my magazine different and unique to the rest of these magazines and increase the sales in the market.

Calendar

I will create a calendar to organise my time well so i am on time with all my production:

8th - 11th February                 - finish all planning
11th 15th February                 - Finish all mock ups
16th - 18th February               - photo shoots

Reader profile

The readers of my magazine will be mostly male and in the teenage age range. They will be in to their indie music and know what to expect from the indie magazines. They will have their own disposable income to spend on the weekly magazine which will be cheaper. As it is weekly this will keep them more occupied in buying the magazines each week and reading about their favourite bands and artists. They will know all the latest indie fashion styles and all the information about gigs and albums. There will be set advertisements to appeal to the reader and the language that will be in my magazine may contain some strong language but they will be expecting this from my magazine.

Planned photo shoots

For my music magazine i will capture the images of 4 male teenagers with the indie look. This will be appealing to my audience and i feel this will work well. I have researched many band images to work off that will work well with my photos. I will take group pictures and single pictures to be set in my magazine. I will use props just as guitars to make the image look more realistic for the audience. They will be wearing the conventional indie clothing which is what my target audience will also wear.

This photo taken of the Libertines is the type of photo that i will like to capture for my magazine. This is a very indie based picture as they all look quite dirty and rough but that is the type of image that will attract my audience. Also some members do not have to be looking straight on at the camera, this still appeals to the audience.

Moodboard

This moodboard that i have created represents well what my magazine will contain. It is based around the rock and roll indie theme. The different fonts that i have landed on for the magazine are each suited to the name Supersonic. From looking at this you can see that it is based at a male teenage audience.
