Diary Entry - Week Six
During this half term I have been working on my audience profile. In a presentation on Prezi I stated what my ideal reader would be and what my target audience of my magazine would be. I then went on to present the results of my questionnaire/poll that has been up on my blog for a few weeks - the results have helped me a lot as the highlight what my readers what, therefore when I come to make my magazine I know what certain aspects my audience are looking for.

Week Five - Diary
Diary Entry - Week Five
This week I have been coming up with name ideas for my magazine and I have been analysing the colours that I will be using in my magazine. My first task was to come up with a few ideas to call my magazine - I ended up with four ideas which included:
- Riff
- Record
- IRM
- Rush
I created a video where I talked about the reasons for my choices and how they directly relate to the genre of my magazine and my target audience of 16-24 year olds.
My second task is where I analysed the four main colours I will use in my magazine, the colours I will use in my magazine are:
- Red
- Black
- Silver/Grey
- White
I explained in the PowerPoint how certain colours such as black and white can create a professional look, colours grey and white create a calm and relax atmosphere and finally the colours red and black are bold and eye-catching colours and how these links to the mysteriousness of the indie/rock genre.

Diary Entry - Week Four
This week I have been focusing on my magazine proposal. The proposal firstly included the type of magazine I wanted to create - therefore I began by explaining the type style I wanted my magazine to incorporate, I then went on to the colours that I will use in my magazine (black, grey/silver, black - to directly link in to my genre of indie/rock). The next points that followed included my target audience (I discussed the reasoning for my choice e.g. why I chose 16 - 24), the competition I would face from other magazines (e.g. NME, Q), it also included my chosen business features e.g. the price for my magazine and why I want it at that price, what type of subscriptions will be available to my reader. I lastly explained why I thought my music magazine will be successful (e.g. what I will offer to make sure my readers continuously come back to buy the magazine).
Addition to this, this week I also created a mood board which included a variety of images to do with my genre of indie/rock the images included, the style, interests etc.. of my possible readers. This is helpful as it helps me understand what type of things interest my readers - it will also help me when I come to do my photo shoot as I will now take the style of my model in to consideration.

Music Magazine - Mood board
My mood board includes images link with my genre of indie/rock - the mood board has helped me as it has given me ideas of how I want my model to look when I come to do the photo shoot as I know will take hair, make-up, and clothing in to consideration.

Proposal
Within the Proposal I have discussed the genre that I will base my magazine on; as a result, I have gone in to what colours that I think will be most suitable (represent genre), the possible competition that I will face (other similar magazines that are in the market e.g. Q), who my target audience is, the business features I have chosen (price, subscriptions I will make available to my readers), media and synergy and finally why I think my magazine will succeed.
