1: MY INITIAL IDEAS
My magazine is aimed at a teenage audience this will be shown in my use of digitally enhanced images. It will also be shown in the style of language I will use when writing my double page spread. The type of music i am going to have in my music magazine is for mainly rockers, metal heads emo's and scene kids.I will be using a mellow soft tones for my background as i am hoping it will look unusual and different like the audience i am aiming for; this hopefully will draw the readers attention towards my magazine compared to other leading music magazines of this genre. the mellow soft tones i am going to use is mainly yellows, blues, greens and reds. i have chosen these tones because they are best for portraying what i am trying to show.

MY MUSIC MAGAZINE INITIAL IDEAS.
I have decided to call my magazine TRASHY.
My magazine will cost £3.99
My magazine will be a weekly magazine.
Iwant to sell my magazine to both males and females that are aged 16to 24. This was because I am part of this age group so I am able to relate to what a percentage of the audience wants from a magazine.
This magazine will be available nation wide and available to buy in any newsagent or local music shop.
My magazine is aimed at the student market and in a middle class household. (B,C,D)
The magazine is aimed at the "alternative" group of people such as emo's, punks and rockers.
These people should feel a love for music and feel that they are defined by there music.
My magazine will contain elements of kerrang and magazines of similar interest.
My magazines contents will include information on;
1.upcoming gigs
2.posters
3. pictures of gigs
etc etc
My magazines style is going to be dark, grungy and inperfect. Every inch of the page will full of photographs and dashes of colour. The main colours used will be red black and white.

MY FINISHED MAGAZINE COVER
Evaluation of my finished preliminary task products.
On my front cover I have my model producing the “devils horns” rock and roll symbol; in my opinion this connotes angst and passion and when attending college the students need to have a lot of passion. However this symbol was a way to ward off the devil, because it resembles the devils horns.
The model on her hand is wearing arm warmer these are made of wool and are stripy. These fact she is wearing stripes can sometimes make her seem to be a trouble-maker.
My model is wearing a black shirt that has buttons on it. The wearing of black in fashion is popular because it connotes people to think they are thinner therefore boosting self-esteem. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission maybe a submission to learning. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil.
My model is also wearing a flower necklace with green stones inside. Wearing a necklace with a flower can connote freshness and new beginnings. This gives me the impression that the college is a fresh new start and each day is a new beginning.
For the background I have made a collage of pictures of students all around college this is the background I will use if I had an ongoing magazine. The definition of a collage is an art form that involves creating a work that consists of things stuck to one another. (Some scrapbooks make extensive use of this kind of thing). The concept is very broad and doesn't always involve using glue or other adhesives. This collage could connote a sense of “family” or a close knit student body.
For my magazine font I have used bold outlined lettering to make it stand out off the page as much as possible. I also used the colours from the stripes of the arm warmer to tie the whole cover in as one.
For my magazine cover I think that the background worked incredibly because it’s different to other magazines and I have not seen anyone else use this type of background. The background was the longest part of magazine and in my opinion it’s the best thing on my magazine. For my background I turned the opacity down and in my opinion after thinking about it I would have turned it back up as I don’t think it has the effect I wanted the background to have.
I also think the colour of the text worked extremely well as it ties all my magazine together however I would change the boldness of the text so the words stood out more from the text. This would catch people’s eye better and make them want to read on mores.
I believe the way my model is stood is a particularly good pose and I also
