Front cover
L - I think that as the photograph will be for a music magazine either a close up or a medium close up shot would be suitable. The colour scheme i will use will depend on the genre of music i will chose e.g. if i were to chose rock as my genre i would probably use dark colours e.g. black and red whereas if i was going to chose R&B as my genre i may use a more calming colour like blue or purple. Choosing colours to match the genre of music is important as certain genres portray different feelings and moods through their music.
My masthead will be the name of the music magazine and i will make this quite big and very bold, i will situate the masthead either in the top left hand side or, right simply because this is where music magazines usually have their mastheads. Again like the colour scheme the type of font i will use for my masthead will depend on the genre of music i decide to use e.g. pop as my genre i would use a font that looks quite bubbly and round, not so blocky and square. Where as if i were to choose heavy metal as my genre i would probably choose a very blocky heavy looking font.
I will need to inclue a banner headline which will be the band name or singer/song writer in which will be on the front cover. I will need to decide where the place the writing e.g. on top of the photograph or underneath the photograph. I will also use captions under small photographs i may use on the front cover to just explain what the stories may be about.
I - There needs to be a gap in the market for my magazine as i would be competing against other Music magazines.
I - I will need my front cover to automatically attract the type of buyer i am attracting which will be the people who like the genre of music that i will be selling.
A - I will need to chose a specific audience type for my magazine, simply because people will not buy the magazine if it is a mixture of all genre.
R - I would like my target audience/artists/music genre to be represented positivley or people will not buy the magazine.
