Naming the magazine

I decided to make a mind map of words associated with music to help me make a decision on what to call the magazine. I ended up coming up with the name 'Dynamic'. An idea came straight to my head, and that at the end of the title, I will put an upside down dynamic microphone to make it look like an exclamation mark. I will put the word dynamic in capitals to make it stand out more.

Who is the target audience?

The target audience for my magazine is people aged 15-20, both male and female. I have chosen this age group to focus on because I think that people this age are more likely to listen to the music and bands that I am writing about. No one younger or older would probably read a music magazine in this genre, as I am doing research on magazines 'NME' and 'Kerrang!'. Both of which focus on the same type of music. My magazine will be more aimed at females, as the way I write and present it will be in a more feminine way, as a posed to a magazine like 'Kerrang!' where the writing is aimed at males more. Most bands in this genre are all male, so I think that writing in a different style will give a better aspect of females listening to the same music.

What is the Genre?

The genre of my music magazine is going to be rock/indie. I have chosen this certain genre of music because it is what I listen to mostly, and what appeals to me. I know a lot about this type of music industry and I think that will help me with the process of creating the magazine. I have chosen to do my double page spread on a band called 'Beyond Recall', mainly focussing on the lead singer. I chose this band because I think they fit in well with my type of magazine. I will also take pictures of other bands, probably made up ones to add onto the contents page. 

Time Plan

Here is the time plan that I will follow in order to make my music magazine the best that it possibly can be, I have used the main titles --  Overview, pre-production, production and post production. With each different section having different things to research, draft and compose. I have made this time plan so that it finishes a day before the deadline, I will follow this as it is shown.
