Feature Story Ideas
After researching some music magazines, particularly those that feature indie rock artists, I found out that most of the feature stories are about a relevant artist. The articles give content, or 'exclusive content', or news stories about these artists. The main article in a music magazine usually focuses on the artist which features on the front cover of the magazine. With these things in mind, I have come up with some feature story ideas which I think would appeal to my audience and therefore could be included in my magazine. I have found some examples of feature stories within magazines which could be similar to what I would use on my final design of my magazine.
- Top 10 tribute bands you should hear.
- Exciting, upcoming musical events in your area.
- 20 new indie rock bands you'll love!
- Exclusive behind-the-scenes pics of Tales of The Poncho's new feature film.
- Live performances you cannot miss in 2016!
- The 10 most important gigs this month!
- Frankie Smith's new album.
Final Colour Scheme
I have decided to choose this as my final colour scheme as it is the most conventional of all the original colour schemes that I created. These colours are used very often in magazines like NME and Q, which are associated with the Indie Rock genre.
Colour Scheme Ideas
Here I researched a whole load of different ideas for the colour scheme of my magazine. My two main focuses was that the magazine has to look visually appealing so the colours must compliment each other well. My second focus was to look at other existing magazines of a similar genre to see what colours they often use and what colours are conventional to the genre.
