Music magazine front page ideas

Idea #1
this is my first front page idea, which is called 'BASS DOWN LOW' with a rough sketch of a female. I would want the image to be as the sketch. The lady may have a specific make-up done.

Idea #5




Profiling audience

Bass down low reader's profile
Josephine also known as 'Jo' is 25 and absolutely love hip-pop and r&b because it inspires her to be who is she is now including her fashion sense, friends and lifestyle. She is a ‘girly girly’(loves make up, loves clothes, loves shoes) who lives with music 24/7.  When she is not listening to music is out looking for the latest clothes on sale from her favourite music artists. She always wants to be the first to get what music artists wear.  She works as a fashion journalist so it isn’t too hard for her find what she’s looking for. She listens to music every day: immediately she wakes up, in the bathroom when bathing and to work and back home till she falls asleep.  Her home shelf is packed with music CDs, Videos and Albums which she isn’t willing to dispatch some.  Since she loves dancing hip-pop just seems to be the perfect choice for her to enjoy herself whenever she feels like. BeyoncĂ© is her inspiration since she is an R&B, fashion designer and choreographer herself, so she looks up to her. She passionately loves Usher (KING OF R&B) and loves Missy Elliot. She always says she will one day budge into the music industry and pursue a career but for now she will stick to her fashion journalism.

I aim my magazine to be a unisex magazine which will appeal to both males and females form ages 14-30. I will include all types of genres of music although I myself like R&B but will still manage to catch the attention of my readers like Josephine.  Fashion, music gossip and all types of music artist would also be involved in order to convince and persuade the readers to buy the magazine because they would want to read about their favourite music artists or music. Josephine will definitely be attracted with the front cover I intend to make. She will be attracted when she sees the front cover in purple, light blue, red or beige and when the fonts are typed in sans serif. She will also be attracted to the cover-lines which I will include such as ‘Beyonce: the latest hit breaker’, she will be interested in reading it.

    Moodboard

    A mood board is a tool used by designers to help them get a good idea of what their clients are looking for. Mood boards are basically collages of items such as photographs, sketches, clippings, fabric swatches and color samples.
