I've decided that the images in my magazine in my magazine is going to be a mix between posed/naturalistic photos out on location, maybe studio photos and live photographies. I have already taken a few photographies to this magazine at a Machine Head gig few days ago, and I'm going to another gig this evening so I will get even more live photos.
I have also found a model for a front cover. I still have to figure out how I want to take this photo though, but I'm pretty sure that I want to take it in a studio.
Other photos I want to take out on location, maybe use a few other models.

Flat Plans
Some early sketches on the composition of the pages in my magazine.
On this content page I wanted to go for a more classic design, then just have a "list" of my magazine contents. In this draft I have four "featured" articles as well as an review and gig section. I think it`s important to have a varied contents page.
This is a relatively simple cover draft witht the name of the magazine placed into the upper left corner and all the features placed on the sides around the cover photo.
This is a draft of an pretty simple contents page, I felt that the design was too "straight-forward" and simple for my magazine and wanted to do some more challenging. I still feel it's safe back-up draft to use.
This is the first draft of my DPS. I feel it's a fairly standard but safe DPS but I added a "timeline" down at the bottom to make it more interesting.

Pitch
1.
The magazine I will produce is called Distortion. It will cover most metal/hard rock music and have a more underground approach.
2.
The magazine will cover a lot of the things going on within the metal genre today, it will contain information about bands, interviews, opinions, gigs and festivals, reviews, articles on the history of the genre and cover things within the metal subculture as well.
3.
The layout of the magazine will be clean, with only a certain amount of different colours, and fonts used to make it consistent and maybe not so "messy" as many of it's competitors.
4.
My target audience is largely males 17 to 25 of age. They have generally an interest in the genre and they engage in activities connected to the genre as well. They are a determined audience, they usually know what bands they like or dislike and usually have opinions about the genre. My target audience may span from class D to C1 (working to lower middle class), someone may belong to class B (middle class) as well.
5.
My double page spread will be a brief history of a fictional band and a review of their discography.
