Mock Up

In this custom music magazine with Jamie Graceffa, I used Jamie, holding a teddy bear, as my main image with him saying "i'm not as nice as you think!" enticing the reader into wanting to read the article. My front cover also as a house style of text, i think this text fits in to an Indie/RocknRoll type style. I also used as pugg showing the reader their are competition prizes to be won in the article.

I started off finding a house style for my work with font, Marcelle. I used this font because I thought it suited the indie style. I used a black and white font to show that the audience I'm appealing to are late teens to late 20's, I didn't use colour as its not colour that appeals to an audience of this age. 

The 1975

The 1975 are a new and upcoming indie band that are quickly rising to international fame, they bring a new and fresh sound to the modern indie era, they released their first album in September 2013 which gained a lot of good and bad reviews. These are appearing far more in the magazines i have been looking through recently so i may feature them in the one that i will create.

The Cure

The Cure are a prime example of a typical Indie band that would suit the style of the magazine i am wanting to produce, they are also a band who appear on the front of many indie magazines.
