New Ideas

What makes my magazine different?

I've been thinking about my magazine a bit and how to make it different from whats already out there...

I've come up with a few ideas:

• A music magazine based on 'whats new and interesting and unknown' rather than "whats hot"
• based on the idea of the kind of people who like to be on the edge of music 
• focus's on more new, young and unsigned talent
• takes inspiration from the C4 show "unsigned Act" 
• Showcases new young talent, but also focus's on the personality of the artist
• teen/young adult audience who like to be ahead of themselves with their music, the kind of people who know about people before anyone else, this is the magazine for them.

Blog Entry 1 - Planning and Research

Hey

I'm going to do the Music Magazine option, I've chosen this option cause i'm fluent with photoshop and cameras and stuff, and i'd rather not have to rely on a group aha

I'm also in a band, and know many bands and locals artists who are proper good, so i can take photos of them and talk about them in my magazine.

Initial thoughts?

I'll probably do a magazine based on more popular and current music, the charts, that kinda stuff, "Q", "NME" kinda ideas. Its interests me more and i can take more inspiration from the current magazine industry. It'll be for teens and adults really.
