Magazine Draft

Main Image

This is the image I will use as my front cover, it fits with the convention of looking straight at the front, maintaining contact with the audience, I also like the background colour, so I may leave that as it is because I'm not someone who finds a whole load of vibrant colours appearing aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, with the intended audience I have, I doubt they would also. It is also hard to attain a professional look with lots of bright colours.

I chose this image above other ones because I believe it looked the most serious and professional. The image itself is meant to appear serious and quite intimidating, which is why when it came to taking images I tried to keep as straight faced as possible, this image portrays quite well what I was trying to achieve.

It was important that the choice of clothing worn and style were of a rock related apperance, otherwise it would not have that strong connection, so I chose to wore a denim jacket, with one side of the collar neither up or down, to give it a tatty, not very well dressed appearance. I also made sure that my hair was quite messy and wild.

My Audience

As my magazine is to be a rock genre magazine, then my audience will of course be people more interested in rock music than any other, I hope to create a magazine that can appeal to many sub cultures of rock and not just say for instance indie or punk etc, although it will go against the conventions of specialist magazines, I look forward to the challenge
