TITLE

One

I Chose ‘one’ because it’s short, clear and memorable. It also reflects how it only shows the number one artists and how you should only read 1 magazine which is one.

POSIBLE TAGLINES

YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW ONE

BEAT THE BASS

YOU NEED TO NOW ABOUT NOW

I chose you only need to know one because its simple and reminds people how relevant it is, also informs how this is the only magazine where

IDEAS FOR FRONT COVER PICTURE

I like this cover because of the bold colour and natural body language of nas reflecting himself

I like this cover because of the interesting picture, and how its starting to reveal something but you have to read on to figure out what it is. I think pictures like this entice and excite the audience because it’s different from the others

The extreme close up of this cover of his face creates a very bold and ‘in your face statement’ with him and his blue eyes almost hypnotising you to buy the magazine. It’s again different from many other magazine which will make it stand out from the others

This photo is a very interesting one because of the angles and bright blue background showing a city skyline. This represents where the artist is from and the quirky body language again interest the reader and makes it more bold.

LAYOUT OF COVERI couldn’t find any magazines with an interesting layout so I think it depends on my picture and how the text will fit around it.

I like the idea of having a bold coloured puff in the corner to make it that extra bit eye-catching

I want to have clear and simple text so it’s easy to read and more minimalist than manic because I think that attracts more attention and will appeal to my readers.

EDITORIAL MISSION STATEMENT

My aim for this magasine is to give people information about the latest artists and the newest music, including exclusive sneak peaks, give aways and keeping track of the artists and the latest upcoming events.

USP• My magazine will include the latest events and exclusive parties that you can go to, to get
