An Example Background Front Cover...

Here is an example of what i want the background of my front cover to look a bit like. The images are taken from Google images. It is the background so there would be other pictures such as a band or information about what the magazine contains on the cover.

The Band...

On the double page spread of my magazine i will be introducing and interviewing a new indie girl band.

The name of the band will be spirit.

It will consist of 3 band members:
Guitarist
Drummer
Lead Singer

They will each have an individual look and their costumes will be girly but indie at the same time.

The title i have chosen...

After getting feedback from the names i chose to be the final name of my indie magazine, I have decided to use 'Flare' as the title of my music magazine.
This is because i think that this title will be more appealing to the customers and it looks better as a title. Feedback from potential customers also told me that there would be more interest in the name and that it would be more appealing to the target market.

Examle of Desire...

Magazine Title...

Here are some ideas i have for the title of my product and what they mean...

Glitter - Brilliance, sparkle
Flare - Erupt, blow
Indie - Distinctive, exclusive
Music - Sounds that are pleasant, harmonized
Punk - Hoodlum
Fashion - Latest style, prevailing taste
Style - Fashion, manner
Craze - Fad, strong interest
Passion - Strong emotion
Spirit - Soul, attitude
Shimmer - Gleam
Lust - Appetite, passion
Desire - Want, longing


The two Titles i like the most are: Desire and Flare

My Main Idea...

For my media studies coursework i will need to complete a music magazine involving a cover, contents page and a double page spread.

The music style i have chosen for my magazine will be indie, punk, original and bright.

The name of my magazine has yet to be decided.

on my double page spread i will introduce a new indie band that i will make. i will be designing their costumes and makeup and hair. They will have instruments in the photos. In the band there will be three members. a lead singer, drum player and a guitar player, i will have to sort out the instruments that will be required to be in the photos. I will also need to have a backdrop to ensure that there is no random things in the background that will look odd on the picture of the band. The name of this band has yet to be decided.

I have also decided that there will be small photos on the front cover and contents page i would like these photos to be on location e.g Blackpool or another place. I already have some photos of locations however i could arrange to make more if necessary.
