Planning: Progress, Decisions and Images

Work in progress.(screen grabs)

After I had finally chosen on the cover image i then pieced it together.

My final decisions for my magazine;

Title: Rage
Price: £3
Frequency: Monthly
Issue Size: around 90
Positioning statement: All aspects of ROCK!
Distribution: Music stores, supermarkets, newsagents,

Rationale: The magazine I will be creating will include regular reviews, competitions, and bands/artists that aren’t very popular, or don’t appear in most magazines. I will offer the audience a choice of subgenres that don’t normally appear in other music magazines. This will broaden the range in where the magazine is sold, and who buys it- being the target to be any gender of the ages from 16-25

Style: : The magazine will be informal and will use simple sentences. The font and style of it will influence of the conventional genre of rock, and images and design will be stereotypical to colours of rock magazines already out on the market.
