Information on my Magazine production.

I want my name for my magazine to be iconic, remember able and hopefully reflect the genre in which my magazine will promote.

Ultimately, I'd like my magazine to promote every type of legendary music, whether it be Pop, Rock, Classical or even Folk: it has to promote artists of a high quality. Bands or artists which could reflect this are:

Blondie, Britney Spears, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Razorlight, Bloc Party, Lady Ga Ga, Johnny Cash, Seasick Steve.

This list proves it doesn't necessarily have to include the same genres, just quality artists who have made a stamp on the music industry.



My main focus point, will include an image of the artist which will be featured in the double page spread along with an interview. I want my 'artist' to have a strong individual image which will intrigue the audience as well as have an outrageous manor which, i could pull quote and place it on the front cover.

The artist will be personally be me, thus the name of the artist being 'Jonny Kelly' and his genre of music will be pop-indie-techno, which i believe his outfit will reflect this. I was originally going to dress as neutral as possible for the photo shoot, just like a lot of the NME and Rolling Stone photos where like, however i felt i could create mine slightly more individual, by showing their personal image in a full body shot. Rolling Stone and NME feature artists on the front of their cover, however only seem to feature their face where as i feel it's just as important to feature their full body to really show in detail what their image is, as this usually reflects their genre of music which they dwell in.



On my front cover, i would like mention of other artists including information either about:

Gigs/Tours, CD releases, Artists of 2009 and new music information, Music DVD and film information and possibly a plug/ competition giving away a signed guitar.

These are possible items which can be included on my front page, however i probably won't use all of them as i don't want it to look too crowded on the page and it also wouldn't need all of that extra plugs and lures on the page.

The masthead will be placed at the top of the page and will be the largest text on the page followed by the tag line underneath, depending on what the masthead will be. If the masthead is shortened to a few letters, the tag line will most likely be the full name (the un-shortened version) of my masthead.
