mast head idea 3

the london underground logo is recognised by millions of people all over the world. this relates to the london theme and the world underground springs to the mind when looking at it when underground is quite an urban word which could be used to describe such things like hell or drains, dirty places which is the stort of places which the gigs were portraied to be held. a very coincidental benifit is that the colours just happen to be red,white and blue which were also the colours mods would use.
             this logo would work as it has lots of differnt meanings behind it and would be recognised by a large audience. the colours are also very patriotic which would give the impression that the magazine would be publisising british music.
         this logo couldn't work as it wouldnt fit where the mast head is suppose to go unless it was in the middle of the front cover which would then be difficult to put main images on the front cover without it looking a mess. also people may think this is a train staion magazine or somthing similar.

mast head idea 2

the font is quite dirty and scruffy to represent the atmosphere of the era and the gigs. the orange behind his highlights the postive memories that it prduced as its a positive colour. the safety pins iconic to the punk era and in constrast with the black background reminds us of the theme colours of the time.
      the mast head works as it give across the theme well. the font is quite intimidating putting across reverse psychology to bring the audience in instead of away.
      the mast head deosnt work as i belive that it isnt professional enough to bring enough audience in. and at the moment a lot of advertising industries use this type of font.

mast head idea 1

this mast head uses patterns and colours which were fashionable in the punk era. \The altered lettering is the same font as the sexpistols logo which give the audience the idea what genre of music it is publisises and advertises.
     this mast head works because it is simple but still puts the anarckstic message across. it also works because you can fit it across the top of the magzine without it looking out of place or take up much room blockingn out the main image of the front cover.
      it might not work as its quite cliche and  punk audiences may want something a bit new to restart the trend.

fearture article artist planning

    1 band or solo artist?     solo artist

2   my artist is going to be a well-known punk with standout cloths. They are the controversial type that frankly doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He’s the anarchist the type that scares the granny’s.  I want him to be like a fashion icon for the punk society.  This guy is pretty mean and likes to get in fights. He loves his drugs anything he can get his hands on. Even though he may look like a thug he is very political and actually quite well educated. His views are portrayed in his songs.

3 they are doing the interview because he is advertising a new tour. But he doesn’t really want to do the interview and gives very poor witty answers.

4 Appearance. he will be wearing black with things like punky stuff like safety pins badges patchwork, spikey  hair, studded cloths,

5 the portrait photos are going to be taken in front of a wall. I don’t want anything too distracting because I want to highlight how much my artist stands out.

   



magazine names

magazine names

1 safety pin - a safety pin in the punk era was iconic and mostly recognised as a music symbol by people of that time.

2 f**k off - an insult would draw the attention of my target audience as it shows controversy and the attitude it would present.

                                        

3 pretty vacunt - pretty vacant is the name of one of the sexpistols songs. only people who know the sexpistols would understand this therefore get a better feeling of the magazines attitude and what other genre's of music would be inside aswell. also the swear word hidden in the name

4 rat- associated with london drains and underground and they are dirty and do what they want. this sort of links to punk attitudes and how they are hated by society and don't care.

5 SCUM- punks dont really get insulted about much so they would quite like the insulting humour.

6 anarky- their whole motto of life evolved around anarchy. doing what they want when they want and relates to the song anarchy in the uk.

7 thatcher- Margret thatcher was the prime minister at the time of the punk era  and there was a lot of controversy between them. to have it as a magazine title is a bit of a risk as not often would a fan of punk want to buy anything to do with thatcher but might like its ambitious approach.

8 OI!- oi is a cockney way of getting someones attention. at the time a lot of punks from London had a cockney accent.

9 DYE!-punks put die in their hair and would link to their sometimes violent lifestyle.

10 dirty citizen- punks were presented as poor examples of the English citizen

11 suburbs-the suburbs are sort of where punk got really popular.  also there is a fmous song by the member called "sound of the suburbs"

12 bulldog-when you think bulldog you think of England london again. its just an iconic image.

analysing music magazine front cover

front cover

mast head - the logo is in bold colours in contrast to the more dark more serious reality of the magazine reminding the audience that its more of poeple educated in music. however the logo is simple and not extremely crazy implying that is doen't have to make lots of effort for it to be eye catching to bring audience in. the magazine expects people to buy the magazine because of the popularity of it.

strapline- the strapline is the only blue on the page making it stand out. there is a pitcure of another magazine on the strap but the puff is in the colour silver implying that you should look at it second or after you reads  this magazine as silver is usually reffered to as second place when the faces of the arctic monkeys have been iluminated to make them lookd gold and alex turner is wearing a gold chain implying he is the main band member and the band you want to hear about the most.

Slogan- there is no slogan showing the audience that they are a serious agazine and not trying to be cheesy.

main image
the main image is the four band members of the Arctic monkeys. their dark hair and dressed in navy blue shows their formal approach. there is only one person making eye contact with the audience suggesting that he is the front man of the band.they have very different hairstyles showingt their induviduality and highlights to the audience that they are the height of fashion. the main effect that the imnage has is that they are a serious band that people should take seriously, not just some forgetable one.

Anchorage text
the anchoarge text is white in contast to the dark background. it is ironic for the white as arctic relates to snow. it says "how broken hands,competing haircuts and a strange voyeurism helped make their best record yet"there is use of the rule of three puffing their new record  and giving the reader a sense of anticipation. "how broken hands" gives the reader a sense of dramaas well as humour"competing hair cuts" this gives the reader the idea that their article would have a lot of appealing features to make it interesting to read.

sell line
the WHITE LIES sell line has alliteration and the rule of three trying very hard to get the readers focus off the main image to be attracted to their main article.it also rythmes giving the reader the impression that the article is informal and amusing to read.
RICHARD BRANDSON'S sell line is his quote "I'm choosing which band to send to space" this is an interesting topic to anyone but  some readers may not believe this at first so it would attract them to read the article to find out more.

target audience of Q magazine

finished problem page

planning

my magazines target audience

my problem page is for a sixth form magazine. the page I'm creating for this project is the problem page this means that the target audience would be for the ages of the sixth form 16-18. to keep my target audience interested in the magazine and keep reading it the content will have to relate to them to them in a certain way for example things that have been going on at school that other people they know have written in the magazine asking for help for a problem they have for example being stressed about exams or how they are losing sleep or bullying ect.

          

           i believe that the majority of the readers would be female. this is because a lot of females are more interested in others problems. i can back this up by other professional problem pages in famous magazines. they are nearly always female targeted. Most males don't really care about other peoples problems but if its people they know, they might be a little more interested. 

for someone to be very interested in a problem page would have to be a very chatty or gossipy person. i believe that people who read problem pages either read them for something to talk about or read them to make other peoples problems make the reader feel better about themselves. my guess that the readers interests would be watching similar things on TV related to other peoples problems in everyday life e.g. made in Chelsea,the only way is essex. other more extreme problems like the jeremy kyle show.
