The title of my music magazine will be 'Illuminate', with red, black and white as my colour scheme for my magazine. I will choose this font for my magazine masthead as it is bold and will span across the top of my front cover which is my aim for the magazine:
My target audience for my rock magazine is teenagers to young adults as the rock genre is mainly liked by them and these type of people will be more likely to buy a music magazine. My magazine will have a blog and social media pages where it shares all the latest gossip and news to do with the bands and other specials featured in the magazine. This will ensure that my magazine gains a big following and more people will buy my rock magazine as it is familiar to them.
Kerrang! magazine is the inspiration or my own magazine as it looks eye-catching and cool to the readers and engages the audience with lots of different articles that are included.
The typical conventions that a rock magazine normally follows is that men are mainly the image for it as there are more male rock bands and it makes the magazine look more like the genre of music. However, i want to have females in my magazine and on the front cover as i feel that more people will buy the magazine and create a female based magazine as there isn't one available.
In rock magazines, a free gift is usually included. Due to this convention being another reason why the magazines are best sellers, i will too include a freebie with my music magazine and clearly display it in the top right hand corner where it is visible to the readers, which is the conventional place to add a free gift.
The masthead on a rock magazine is usually placed behind the image and centered on the top of the front cover. I want to try to keep to this typical convention as it makes the image look 3-D and makes it stand out more. Magazines usually have the masthead behind the main image if they are a well-known brand and easily recognisable and this is what i want to portray. However, if the masthead doesn't look right i won't have the image on top.

I will add the barcode and the price on the bottom right hand corner so it is the last thing the audience sees on the page, this is a convention and ensures that the reader is drawn in by the content on the front cover and doesn't base there view on the price.
