Original Ideas Statement

Original ideas statement

My original idea was to create a magazine with a target audience of mainly males in an age range of 16 to late 20’s. The genre my magazine would focus on would be a variation of punk, pop punk, punk rock and hardcore music targeting the niche social group associated with that genre, as it is growing rapidly and there is a gap in the market for a magazine for that genre, there are existing magazines focusing on metal, rock and metalcore genres etc, however a purely punk and hardcore magazine is not yet available, it’s layout would not be messy and trashy like typical existing rock genre magazines, it would be tidy and clean although having many images for the readers there would still be a lot of features and text as to not make it a solely image based magazine. I want to have a dark colour scheme and house style consisting of blacks whites and greys and one other colour to add the feel I’m looking for to the magazine. I will create a fictional hardcore band for the main feature in my magazine and write about the attitudes within the genre in order to connect with and relate to the readers.
