LIIAR analysis.

Magazine artist looks.

This look is casual and smart so it looks good yet it fits with the sort of flaunting of you taste in music thing that goes on.

The T-shirt is the wrong genre of music but I couldn't find a better image of a jumper in this style. However it fits together nicely.

This look is much more of a sort of "Mod" style however you see a lot of the artist that play to my genre wearing the same sort of things.

Demographics.

Colour scheme and artist look.

Name, genre and font.

The genre of my choice.

The genre i will be choosing for definite will be "Indie rock".

So my magazine will be focused on bands/artist's such as The smiths, The who, Arctic Monkeys and many others.

I have decided upon this genre because i enjoy the style of music and i feel that i will be able to draw a lot of inspiration from existing magazines, such as "NME".

The Name and Font

For the name of my magazine i have chosen to think of something simple yet easy to remember, that is also relatable to genre so i have chosen " Rockin' ". The only problem i could think of was that it may be compared to a Rock music magazine. The Font i have chosen will be "papyrus" from "Adobe Photoshop CS5" this is because it feels slightly artistic yet rocky at the same time, which is a feel i get from a lot of Indie rock music.
