Initial ideas

Initial Ideas
 

For my initial ideas I explored the genre indie music. I think I want my genre/band to be an indie magazine but with a focus on alternative indie and female bands.

I feel like female bands in th indie genre don't get enough publicity and possibly there is a lack of them therefore. 

Then I started to name all the indie bands I like male or female and this can give me an idea for the sounds I want in my magazine, and also the aesthetic relating to each of these bands/artists could inspire the style of the magazine. 

I think I will research further into a few indie bands/artists, and look at their album covers and aesthetic overall as this could inspire me. 
The indie genre is also a culture I believe so I could therefore explore the indie culture and colours,etc. I believe alot of art is used on album covers which I could also analyse and explore.

Double page spread -(2) NME - Mark Ronson

Double page spread NME - Mark Ronson  I like how the title spreads across two pages and may consider to do this for my own magazine page.I feel like it is a good way to bring all the conventions of the page together and links them e.g the image, title, and text. It also is good as it makes the reader look at both pages therefore catching their eye, due to them having to read the title from one side of the page to the other. I would like to pick out a piece of the interview and put the letters in bold and a bigger size, something of interest or a statement. I like how the image takes up a whole page and has props that are interesting and relate to the title.E,g - hammer- relates to the revenge.

Contents page -(1) just magazine

Contents page- Just a magazine (unknown)   I like the use of imagery and horizontal across two pages.With the images above the titles od each section in the magazine. Im not entirely sure but the images may be relating to one of the titles from each column. I like this idea and it gives a simplistic, yet arty feel to the page. I like how the contents gows across teo pages as it dosent feel as squashed, and comes across artistic in this way.Also it is different to standard layout making it alternative which could relate to the music genre I am focusinf on (Indie).I may use this in my own magazine

Double page spread - (1) NME - lana del rey

Double page spread - NME   This double page spread has the image on the left and writing including title on the right.This is a pretty average layout, however still looks stylish.  The colour of the image is black and white, which is simple but makes the eye concentrated to the image. I like the colour of the light blue, its refreshing and stands out.However the colours are not particularly exciting in the way they have been lain out on the page.
