Formal Presentation of My Music Magazine & Feedback

Feedback

The feedback that I receieved from my pitch was that I should consider how I am going to sell my magazine in competition with other rock music magazines like Kerrang. I will ensure the house style that I use throughout my magazine and by making sure that it stands out against these sorts of magazines.

Exisitng Rock Magazines

From my research into existing rock magazine I have discovered that rock magazines share similar features. Such as free posters within the magazines play a huge part in selling of the magazine. Also the colour scheme very often include the colour black and red to create an aggressive look to the magazine. I also discovered that the masthead's typography is largely sans serif to create a more modern and appealing font to their audiences. The font of the masthead also will change colour in rock magazines to adapt to that particular's covers colour scheme.
