My vision

My vision for my magazine

My magazine's function will be to provide entertainment and information to the target audience. It will be mostly entertainment, with the content serving purely to amuse the reader and allow them to become more indulged in their music. From my magazine, they will get pleasing content made to look appealing to the eye and information that is not available to them online such as interviews and pictures.

I plan on designing an appealing cover with all the conventions and results from the questionnaire. I have chosen the name 'Siren' because it links with the dark. 'alternative' theme of my magazine and also music, 'siren' being a mythical being that lead sailors to their deaths through hypnotic song. The double page spread will feature an interview with made-up artist Jonathan Samn and will contain images. The cover needs to follow a black, white and blue colour scheme with a mid-shot, the talent being any gender. I will keep it uncluttered and neat and put the masthead in the top left corner. 

Ideally, an Indie artist should be like their audience: Creative, connected to their music, can play their own instrument, and have an 'edgy' style and personality that may consist of smoking/drinking and wearing similar fashion to the fans of the genre(Skinny jeans, vintage clothing, piercings and tattoos). I am hoping to give my made-up artist a similar style and make him appeal to the audience. To do this I plan to edit tattoos and piercings onto an image to give Jonathan the ideals of an Indie artist.
