Proposal

Target Audience

The target audience for my magazine will be teenage boys who are interested in sport and new rock/ alternative music. This means that the magazine will have articles about new music which has a rock/ alternative genre and it will also include sport not only inside the college but local sport.

Typical Content

Just as I said before the magazine will include articles about new rock/alternative music. This will include new and upcoming local bands and singers. These could also include bands that are in college. It will also include articles on sport in college and results from sport in the local community. It could also include events that the target audience would like to go to. It could involve food in the way of cafes inside college and local food. It could also include new local shops and local advertisements and offers.

Cover Lines

                                   

These would all include snippets of articles which will give slight information about the articles. For Example there could be one saying ‘Shock Result for Portsmouth’ or ‘New Band Rocks the South’

Title

I have decided on SDC magazine because it represents South Downs College yet it still keeps the young and modern theme.

Fonts

sdc magazine

 I would like to use this font for my mast head because it stands out and is bold to catch people’s eyes. It also is easy to read so that it can be read easily. The font is Xenophone.

I want to use this font for my magazine contents page and the cover lines because it is simple to read and it is modern. The font is Tahoma.

Times Published

My magazine will be published every month and will change due to the monthly seasonal changes. For example in December it will have a specific Christmas theme and the events will mostly be based on Christmas and New Years. Also in February there will be a specific theme of Valentine’s Day.  These themes will be portrayed in the colours used and the articles that will be included in the magazines for example there would be Christmas music news involved in the magazine and there will also be specific events for the time of year.

Kind of images on cover

There could images of the new band(s) which will be featured in the magazine. There could also be images of food that is new in the cafes or there could be images of sports in the local area. There could also be images of the new events like advertisements and posters.

Colours

The basic colour scheme will be white background but will also include the font colour of black but using blue and green as well. This is to keep to the South Downs theme. But it will also include some other bright colours which will attract peoples’ eyes to the magazine cover.

Size

The magazine will be A5 size so that it can be easily fit into any bag.
