Music Magazine Proposal

The genre of music that I am going to use for my magazine is rock. This is because rock is very popular amongst teens in today's society as well as adults who have fond memories of their childhood rock heroes e.g Black Sabbath, Rolling stones, Led Zepplein, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper etc. As well as this, there are many different types of rocks from Glam Rock to Heavy Metal, which gives the reader alot more information and enjoy the different styles of rock, rather than stick to one rythym.

Rock is very popular in today's society, and is used in magzines like NME and Kerrang!, as well as on the radio, which means that rock is more or less open to anyone to hear or buy. Typically, in a rock magazine they offer tickets to concerts and dates wher different bands or solo artists might be playing, as well as  different posters of your favourite rockstar.

The current price of NME is £2.30, and you can subscribe to NME for just £25.99 it is published once a week. Supposedly, NME has a target audience of teenagers as the main images used on the front  cover wil appeal to them e.g The Pretty Reckless, Pete Doherty Etc. The reason why NME is called this is because it sounds like 'enemy' which suggests the magazine is rebellious and fierce which describes Rock in general.

My magazine is going to be called Fierce. I decided on this name as it's new, there is no other magazine called that and just the name itself straight away says what kind of genre it is.

I have narrowed down the masthead fonts which are very scruffy, bold and will capture the audiences attention and make them want to buy the magazine. also there is no other magazine which uses thes kind iof fonts. The three fonts include:
Segoe Print
Jokerman
Mattisse itc
