Initial Ideas

For my magazine I would like to include:

• The dark clothing and makeup usually associated with the rock genre, by keeping to conventions it will allow the genre of my magazine to be obviously noticeable on the shelf.
• For my colour scheme I would like to use red, black and white shades, this is another convention associated with rock.
• I would like to have a medium close up image for my front cover.
• I think I would like to include a prop, maybe a microphone or a guitar. 
• I would like to have a double page spread focused on a musician and their life rather than being focused on music entirely.
• I think I would like to include a music free download or a code for money off or free shipping for a website.
• I think my cover will feature a female, probably looking directly into camera.
• The background may be quite plain.
• There will be a lot of articles featured on the front page to ensure there is an attraction to a wider audience.
