Initial Ideas
We decided on creating a magazine to
help young, aspiring musicians, who wish to start to learn a musical
instrument. We decided that the magazine should be aimed at 13-16
years olds, however, different age groups were included for the
'clients' to choose, which they would think to be suitable so if we
must, we shall change the age group.
The magazine might include, depending
on the survey results, interviews with rising stars, easy learning
chord sheets (different instruments), freebies (such as guitar
strings or CD's), monthly competitions and handy tips, puzzles and
reviews, are some of our ideas we have come up with.
We've also come up with some masthead
ideas, and, again, depending on the survey results, will choose one
of the following: Musimag, Newstar, Atune and musicmadness. We think
that all of these are catchy and all relate to music. Coming up with
title was probably the hardest task, as we knew it had to link in,
but be catchy and non-cheesy at the same time.
We wanted to aim at both gender
groups, so increase profit sales etc. So we wanted a suitable, unique
colour scheme that would appeal and look attractive to both gender
groups, and fit in with the
theme. We also put our chosen colou schemes on the survey in order to
analyse and find out which colour schemes suit this magazine, and for
its intended purpose. The colour schemes we though up are the
following: Brown and Pink, Brown and blue, purple and yellow, green
and purple and finally, burgundy and cream. We chose, contrasting
colours to immediately make the magazine eye catching and fun.
If
the magazine were to be printed on a large scale, then we would want
it to be glossy, which is very expensive, and so, the price range
would have to be right. We came up with the following price ranges:
£1.50, £2.50 £3.00, £3.50, £4.50, and £5.00. we needed to know
what our clients would pay for a magazine, so we will decide on an
appropriate price once our surveys are completed.
