My original photo

I am going to have fellow students to be in my picture, Max and Jason. The picture will be in a music room within my school, and will be of the two models practicing with the instruments in the practice room, and also practicing on the stage in the school hall.

Music cover idea

I have decided to use a group of teens (16-18) playing with instruments, looking like they are practicing. I will make the headline about young teens more interested into playing music. I will use guitars, bass and drums, and will use a music classroom, or a stage of the teens practicing.

My Audience

My audience profile will be male between the age of 15-24, that have a interest in music, specifically rock music which is what my magazine will be about. Here are the facts about kerrang! audience, which is a rock music, which i am using to help base around my magazine. The social group i have chosen is people who listen to rock and metal. I have also decided to aim at working class, as they will be earning money and would more likely be able to afford the magazine.

My Magazine

I have decided to choose that to make a rock and metal magazine, but it will be most of the genres of rock and metal, and will use magazines like kerrang! and classic rock to base on my magazine, bands that will feature on my magazine would be like slipknot, blink 182, of mice and men, and more.
