My initial aim in this project is to create a authentic looking magazine that is focused upon unsigned up and coming rock bands, my reason to base my magazine on this genre is that i think there is a niche market that would subscribe to this magazine. this audience would be any one who has a keen interest in rock music and those wanting to discover new bands.
I aim to research current magazines that focus upon bands with out a record label, i know already of orange unsigned act, this is a well noted magazine that has accumulated a vast following, i will take some of the key conventions that have made this magazine so successful and attempt to apply them to my project to create a final piece that is aesthetically professional looking.
In order for my magazine to be successful it must have a unique selling point, some thing that isn't already on offer in the current market, i believe that looking at obscure unsigned acts is a niche genre that is often ignored in mainstream music magazine so my magazine will address this genre.
As for content I aim to create a front cover high lighting the main double page spread of the magazine, a content page informing what articles the magazine will include and also a double page spread exploring an unsigned up and coming act, for this i will interview and photograph a friends band that i know. I realise from looking at existing magazines on the market that conventions such as layout, colour scheme, imagery, logos, photos and anchoring play a key role in attracting an audience so i will reserch these conventions carefully and apply my finding to my project in aim to create a convincing and authentic looking final product.
