Front page

 Hardsound front cover, i used my own pictures of my own equipment and my band, and a few of my friends i chose the colour scheme as grey and bright blue as it goes well with the background and pictures

 my contents page is fairly basic as i didnt want to clutter it up too much, the most important stories are highlighted by having them in a larger font, also smaller stories and competitions

here is my main article again keeping with the blue and black theme, also added a picture of my band mate alex to the edge of the article. i also enlarged the font on certain quotes to emphasize the article slightly more.

Reader Profile

if i was to stereotype the main target audience of this magazine it would be a "Hardcore" audience, so basically people who go to shows for mainly the energy.

Magazine layout

 The layout of my mag is very basic as i believe that a basic uncluttered layout is much more suitable for this genre as the main focus is on the featured bands and music instead of fancy layouts

 really basic contents page, all i want is a picture of a full band and the contents in a transparent box with few words briefly explaining about the featured artist and information

this is my main article, features a massive picture pull out and interview on the band and there recent sucess

Main target audience

my main audience is hardcore fans like the photo above, around the age of 18 who are mainly into bands such as Bring me the horizon and A day to remember

i will achieve this by maintaining an image of generic hardcore fans throughout the magazine

moodboard

the colours i used are bright and vivid and attracts the reader to the article or front cover, my favourite is the bottom one in blue :)

My questionnaire for the title of my magazine

From my results i found that the majority found that hardsound was the best choice for a magazine. closely followed by crabcore magazine.

So my magazine will now be called Hardsound i want to have a distressed effect on the font for the front cover.
