USP

My music magazine will be rock and alternative based and aim at an audience of teenage to young adult females. It will be fun and fresh-faced with bright colours without being too ‘bubblegum’ pop. It will appeal to my target audience because other rock music magazines are dark, serious, unlike what I plan to produce, and primarily male targeted.

CD Covers

When I created my CD cover I wanted to make something sort of mellow Rock or Indie. My target audience, therefore, is older teenagers and young adults. I chose bright colours with a dull setting to bring these colours out. I chose the purple and blue on the front and the red from the back and made them brighter and more vibrant whilst dulling down the rest of the images, see *Screenshot 1. This also had the effect that the subject's face on the front is sharper against the dull blue sky.
The pictures are very dreamy and I wanted to keep to this theme with
the text, both in title and font. I chose soft, swirly fonts, nothing too bold but something which would stand out enough to keep the feel of the music. I used the same font on the back but then found it was too soft and I was losing it to the black of the background, see *Screenshot 2. So I picked a different font which was similar but bolder so the song titles could actually be read.
