This is mock image of the pose I wish to have for my front cover image. This was inspired by my mood board, and the pose itself suggests for the reader to come closer and open up the magazine.

Tagline

This is a mock layout with image, to see how the magazine would appear with the current flat plan. I think it looks good but the large amount of yellow and orange takes the attention away from the main subjects, therefore I need a plain coloured background that will not divert the readers attention.

Title Font

These fonts feature the name of the magazine ‘unsigned’ in different fonts, I think the bottom one is most appealing as it is shows a similarity to that of a signature which creates an sense of irony as the magazine is about bands that have not signed a contract.

Colour Schemes

These are a variety of colour schemes that I feel would work for my magazine, in this case I feel that the one highlighted would be the best one to use for the magazine.

Questions• What type of band are you?• Tell us a brief history of your band• What made you decide to take up music?• Who writes the songs and what are they about?• Who are your musical influences• How do you promote your band and shows?• What's your outlook on the record industry?• How does music affect you and the world around you?• What's your claim to fame?• What are your dreams and goals?• Is your family musical?• How would you describe and rate the music scene of the city you are currently living in?• Where do you plan on going from here?

These are a list of questions I will be using for my interview with the headlining band in my double page spread. These questions have been chosen in order to extract the most amount of information about the band in order to give the readers the best quality of information

Taglines

• For the Next big thing• Insight into the industry• For your local Talent• The Future of music

These are a selection of possible tag lines for my music magazine, I most like ‘The future of music’ as this tells the reader that this magazine will give them a heads up as to what will be the next musical success’s in the music industry

Articles• A headlining band• A pull quote from the headlining band’s double page spread• A puff advertising that a free album is included in the magazine• A selection of other artists who are included within the magazine• A puff with a buzzword to entice readers

These are a the conventional things that I need to incorporate into my magazine in order to make it distinguishable as a magazine and attract readers

Band Names• Reload • Dropkick• Clueless Conversation• A-Grade• Aim and Fire• The New Reflection• Twisted Silver• A tale of gold

These are a selection of possible names for my headlining band, I particularly like the name ‘Aim and Fire’ it makes it seam as if the band is alternative and this is the type of music that my target audience is appealed to

Photo shoot

• Photography studio with diffused lighting. The band members will be composed of three models; Alex, Emma and Becca. They are actually a three piece band and will be bringing some of their equipment with them, this will include two guitars.
