Name of Magazine: TMB (The Music Bible)

Genre of Magazine: My choice of genre is rock, I chose this because it’s for an alternative taste of music, and can be interpreted in many ways.

Target Audience: My chosen target audience is within the age range of 16-20 as when my questionnaires were completed, the median age was 16-20. The audience will be a mixture of females and males who are still in education or at university. The price of the magazine will cater to this.

Initial ideas about front page:

• A single medium long shot will be on the front cover with the masthead in the left top hand corner

• The masthead will be in bold black capitals, with a red line underneath which will divide from ‘the music bible’ text

• My colour scheme will be black, red and grey.

Initial ideas about contents page:

• There will be sub titles which will be in blocks, with the same writing as the masthead.

• There will be a main image on the left hand side of the page, that relates to the magazine.

• The banner at the top of the page will be the colour red, and have grey writing for the ‘Contents’ part.

Initial ideas about my double page spread article:

• It will be spread over two pages, 3 columns on either page.

• There will be a total of 3 photos altogether and they will be in a vintage style.

• The name of the artist/singer will also be the boldest writing on the page, to make it stand out.

• There will be some information and an introduction about the interviewer and what to expect within the article.

Initial photo ideas:

FORMAL PROPOSAL

• One artist, with a unique style

• Taken in various shot types, medium shot, medium long shot and close up shot for the article.
