Who would be the audience for your media product?
Similarly by researching into a lot of different genres of music magazines I noticed how important it was to have a recognisable masthead that is catchy. I wanted it to be something simple and memorable so I choose to call it ‘Be Indie’ which I think is easy to remember and establishes the genre straight away. The colour I thought looked quite effective was making the masthead white which contrasts with the blunt black backround and so therefore stands out more. Usually to establish a brand identity, I made sure I had three main colours that would be recognised. As you can see my main three colours were red, yellow and white which I think fits quite well together. The masthead itself is white and stands out against a black background. Although the masthead doesn’t have a lot of detail, I like the fact that it is classic and simple and therefore that’s what will make it more attractive and recognisable. Usually if there is a new band featured on the cover of a magazine then it is saying they must be good and so will entice the audiences to read more about that band. I thought ‘The mash ups’ would be a good band name to feature on the front cover of the magazine and so I made it big and stamped it across on top of them which I think looked good overall as it stands out and it is one of the first things you look at.

My magazine represents the ‘Indie’ boys and girls who have a certain style that can be established by what music they listen to and what they wear. I specifically chose the Indie genre because it is a popular sound that is widely known throughout the country to which many teenagers/young adults enjoy listening to. The masthead gives the genre away automatically for example it is called, “Be Indie” and from then on everything else follows to fit in with the house style. Similarly, the medium long shot of the main image shows an ‘Indie’ looking band with their certain hair styles (swept fringe) and clothes which all tie in with the style I was going for to represent that certain ‘look’, by doing this it should entice the audience into looking up to the role models and therefore they will copy their style.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Moreover, by researching into different institutions that distribute magazines, I looked at which company would best suit to support for my magazine. I chose IPC media as it manages magazines like 'NME' which fits in with the same genre as the magazine i have chosen to do. It targets the same audience as mine so might be something new and fresh that the same age ranges would be able to look and identify with. Also the fact that it is a well known company and it’s brands inform and connect with the categories they range show that they with have familiar costumers that will be interested in a new music genre magazine.
