Music Magazine Proposal Form

Target audience: (age range, interests)	My target audience will be females aged 15-25. Their interests will be shopping, looking good, partying and having fun. They would like taking tips from magazines and watching television
Possible title ideas: (masthead / title block) What is your magazine going to be called?	Possible mastheads: Pop! Tunez, rhythm, beat, top pop, clash, eminence, and loud. I chose to go with “Eminence” as it sounds sophisticated and classy as well as the meaning which is fame and high rank which relates to my artist and she is well known
Main image: What will be the focal point of your front page, remember, your work	My main image will be a long mid shot of a female, with a dress on or maybe some flashy clothes, flashy jewellery to show the fame and the richness
Main cover line: What will be the main story?	How she found fame and how it changed her life. Also the negative feedback she got how she dealt with it and who she looked up to all her life. Also the big awards she achieved
Additional key images: What other images will be on your front cover?	Other images will be of the barcode, price tag but no images of the model as she is the main focus and the magazine and double page spread is based on her and her life
Additional cover lines: Other features, stories or selling points which will be inside the magazine, these need to be audience appropriate.	These will be “10 new song releases”, “the spice sisters fall apart”, collaborations with other artists. These cover lines will relate to the target audience and the main artist. They are also related to the music industry as it is a music magazine and that’s what people will be looking for.
Typography: (style, size, colour of copy) Think about the writing and the style of the writing on your front page.	The masthead will be black as the other images and typography will be in pink and other shades of pink. The masthead will most probably be italic and the other information will be in normal straight writing
Background colour/image: What will be in the background, remember you don’t want to take the focus away from the main image.	The background will be a simple and plain colour such as white so that the rest of the information can stand out and the audience can focus on the main image.
Technical considerations: (equipment, setting, props, costume, lighting) Be realistic and creative, think about what you have access to and how you could use it.	The lighting will be light making my model stand out; the setting of the pictures I will take will be on green screen so that I can accurately cut around my model and put her onto a backdrop. The equipment I will use will be a camera and a tripod so that some of the angles of the images will be straight and not wonky. The makeup will be light and the costume will be standing out glittery or shiny
2 Page Spread: (what will be the main article in your magazine?) This will need to be the main story on your cover, what detail will be featured inside?	The double spread pages will include image of the model of half of one page and questions and answers on the rest. There will be a large quote for the audience to read as soon as they open up the page so that they can instantly start reading.
