RATIONALE
This indie magazine give Indie fans and readers a
chance to be in ahead of the rest with new bands
artists who hot and who’s not and where they will be
all year round. This magazine covers all aspects of
the Indie genre and different Indie bands and
exclusive information on them and why there to
popular at the moment giving the reader knowledge
and information on different artist and bands
HOUSE STYLES
I want my magazine to be as easy to understand and
read and simple but still full of information and style
as possible. Due to the indie theme I have picked I
feel as though the style of indie is very laid back and
chilled which I want that feel to come across in my
magazine. So I will use fonts that are edgy but
haven’t got that much edginess that they are hard to
read or take the focus away from my main image.

MAIN IMAGE
The main image that I will use is of a band which I will photograph
which is relevant to my Indie magazine. Due to them being an indie
band I will plan what they wear, hair and makeup, props and where
the setting is. I want the final image to be easily recognisable as an
indie magazine so will take the typical codes and conventions of
what ‘indie’ is in order to be able to grab the reader’s attention
weather this type of magazine is what their interested in towards
other people who may not know would be able to easily understand
due to recognising the typical codes and conventions of ‘indie’.
PHOTO SHOOT PLAN
For my cover image and DPS I will photograph the people I have
chosen. I want the setting to be on a grey to white background and use
props which will be an electric guitar a drum kit and a cigarette. I want
their hair to be messy or in style with the 1975 band as I will look at
photo shoots from their band to get more ideas. If they have any
imperfections on their skin I will just cover them up with foundation
and maybe highlight there facial features with other bits of make-up
e.g. pencil, highlighter& mascara. I want the lighting to be quite bright
but will edit the picture to be black and white and make sure that the
props and face and hair stand out.
MAGAZINE COLOUR SCHEME
The colour scheme for my magazine will be black
white grey and occasionally red and yellow. Though
out the magazine pages I want them to be mainly
black grey and whites, which will fade into each
other and also make shadows. Then I will use the
bits of red and yellow to highlight information and
focal points which I want the reader to immediately
focus on e.g. maybe bits of an image or the
beginning of text.
