01-Introduction

The main project was to produce a music magazine, however to assist with the production of this and start work on the music magazine we did practice task with making a college magazine. This would give photoshop practice, use of the cameras and help us to be able to develop this and improve our skills onto the music magazine.
To get some audience research I interviewed this group to find out what would capture their attention and explored existing indie magazines, such as NME. I intended to focus on the group of the indie music scene, which would be of a more rock based genre. Around this information from my niche market I could decide on the type of photographs, design styles, colour schemes fonts and graphics that they would be attracted to which would develop a house style. My college magazine is to be a more bright and simple style whereas I developed this once I was more familiar with the process for my music magazine onto a more detailed style with a dark and fiery colour scheme to appeal to the rockers in my target audience.
