My Initial Ideas

    My intention for my AS Media coursework is to make an indie music/fashion magazine in a sort of combination of Q Magazine and fashion magazines such as Lone Wolf.

    I like to colours and composition of Q Magazine, as I think the simple image makes it look more 'classy' than other music/lifestyle magazines. The red, white and black colour scheme stands out against other magazines on the stand. I also really like the feminine yet simple style of Lone Wolf, and I think a combination of the two would look really interesting.

    For my magazine, I want it to look similar to Lone Wolf and Q in regards to composition and colour, as I think it's very effective for the independent music and fashion genres. The magazine's mastehead will be short, maybe even an abbreviation, in the upper left corner as I've noticed this style repeated in the magazines I've looked at.
    However, while Q and NME are aimed towards men aged about 20-40, I want my magazine to be aimed the specific market of women aged about 20-30 who are interested in indie music and fashion.
