Music Magazine Proposal

The genre of my music magazine will be metal as this is my favourite genre of music. Also the current selection of magazines out that cover this genre have become more and more mainstream which has alienated those who enjoy listening to more underground bands. Therefore my magazine will be targeting those who like to listen to new/up and coming bands as well as the underground scene.

The title of my magazine will be Metal Head. I have chosen this name as it clearly states the genre of music the magazine is about and also it is similar to that of a well known metal band (Machine Head). However it has previously been used as a video magazine.

As part of the Music magazine task i will have to take at least 4 original images to use on the cover, contents and double page spread of the magazine. I hope to use an image of a solo artist for the main image on my front cover as my double page spread will be an interview with this person.

My cover lines will be : 'Guitar players and their guitar face'
'Fender vs. Gibson'
'Exclusive coverage and interview from private UpSwitch gig'
Here is in example of an existing cover line similar to one i have chosen to use:


My double page spread will be an interview with the lead of a band called UpSwitch. I will use images of the lead to fill the space around the text and i will also use a large heading to the article just like this:
