Deciding on a genre for a music magazine

BIG CHEESE MAGAZINE 1996-2013

Created in 1996, the mission statement of Big Cheese is the same as it was that sunny day in August fifteen years ago: to embody the culture we write about rather than just aspire to it and to innovate rather than imitate. Leading the way with the covermounting of full albums (such as with Issue 102’s The Rabble CD), patches (giving away an exclusive My Chemical Romance one to coincide with the release of their last album), wristbands (to promote the release of Green Day’s last album every reader received a free Green Day-branded wristband) as well as being one of the first magazines to utilise downloadable content (back in 2006 giving away a downloadable compilation available through our website), we continue to stand at the forefront of popular and underground music, be it punk, metal, ska, indie, hip hop or rock or lesser covered genres such as rockabilly, psychobilly and garage rock, covering it from the ground up, from up-and-coming bands to established acts, from their music to their style and everything in between.

NME

he New Musical Express, popularly known by the initialism NME, created by Theodore Lloyd-Jones, it is a music publication in the United Kingdom, published weekly since March 1952. It started as a music newspaper, and gradually moved toward a magazine format during the 1980s, changing from newsprint in 1998. It was the first British paper to include a singles chart, in the 14 November 1952 edition. In the 1970s it became the best-selling British music newspaper. During the period 1972 to 1976 it was particularly associated with gonzo journalism, then became closely associated with punk rock through the writing of Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill.

Inside the issue:

There’s trouble in town! Liam’s back and leading the pack for NME’s first part special preview of all the albums you must own in 2013. Exclusive in-the-studio reports on Vampire Weekend, Noah & The Whale, Johnny Marr, Queens Of The Stone  Age, These New Puritans, A$AP Rocky, Everything Everything, Katy B, AND MORE.

Q Magazine

Q is a popular music magazine published monthly in the United Kingdom.

Founders Mark Ellen and David Hepworth were dismayed by the music press of the time, which they felt was ignoring a generation of older music buyers who were buying CDs — then still a new technology. Q was first published in October 1986, setting itself apart from much of the other music press with monthly production and higher standards ofphotography and printing. In the early years, the magazine was sub-titled "The modern guide to music and more". Originally it was to be called Cue (as in the sense of cueing a record, ready to play), but the name was changed so that it wouldn't be mistaken for a snooker magazine. Another reason, cited in Q's 200th edition, is that a single-letter title would be more prominent on newsstands.

In the issue:

Q319 February 2013 

Perfect playlists for ever occasion picked by Noel Gallagher, Bat For Lashes, Robbie Williams, Paul Weller, Kasabian, Manics, Jake Bugg & more...
Plus 2013 preview featuring the likes of Beady Eye, Foals, Biffy Clyro, Haim, Vampire Weekend, Palma Violets, David Bowie...

My attempt and getting a college magazine together.

Here is my final attempt at the cover. I feel i have been to ambitious with this as i feel it does not feel right. I will put the process up by next week as it takes to long to export files from photoshop and Indesign.

Preliminary Task-The Proposal

Preliminary Task

The Proposal:

The target audience is going to be between 17-20, which is a very small age range but this is the age of college students, I will try and aim it towards both genders but it may sway towards primally a male audience as i am a male and i am writing it, so my interests will come out more.

The magazine will primally be about college life and the lifestyles students have, so mainly about music, fashion, video games, movies, etc written by students for students. Furthermore the magazine will include news about events and trips within the college.  The Cover-lines could be "Gig Guide for Oct 2012", "Christmas Gift Guide", "Revision Help", "How to Survive A Levels Exams"

I have decided to simply call the magazine "SDCM" which stands for South Downs College Magazine. I have chosen this because it's short and you can easily put it into a hash-tag for twitter (#SDCM) I hope for magazine to be heavily involved with social networking such as twitter, Facebook and Instergram .

I want the font to be bold and simple, much like the one my mac has decided to give me. (Silly mac). But this font is easy to read and looks simple. I want the logo to be the letters SDCM to be bold and black on a white background, but with all the letters almost overlapping each other. 

I would publish this magazine at the beginning of every term, to give the writers time to gather information and write the articles also it allows people to submit information such as gig dates and general college information. There would be two different types o f format, a physical A5 version, A5 because it's less bulky than an A4 and it cost less to print, and a digital copy for tablets, phones and laptops.
