After collecting my results from my survey, I found that the circled features are what readers would like to see in my magazine the most. So, I will make sure that the majority of my magazine’s content is based around these four things in order to keep the reader satisfied. I would also like to include the following in my magazine:- Advertising for upcoming

shows- Meet and Greet Photos- Promotion for companies

(e.g. merch sites, clothing lines etc.)

- Polls

Advertising for Upcoming Shows

To the left, there are posters for tours that are coming up in the UK for bands that fall into the ‘Rock’ Music Genre. Kerrang mainly always dedicate space in the issue for upcoming tour posters in an effort for news of the event to be seen by more and therefore, more tickets are sold. Also, it is common for a tour poster to be on the reverse side of the cover page.

Meet and Greet Photos

Most magazines have a section in their magazine that is filled with content that has been sent in by readers. A popular thing to be sent in is photos of fans with their favourite band members. I think that it would be a good idea to have a space for people to send things like this in to the magazine because then the readers are more involved and have a chance to feature in an issue.

Promotion for CompaniesThe companies to the left either sell band merchandise, or are clothing companies that have been set up by members from bands. Obviously, most bands have social networking sites such as Twitter and Face Book, so these shops can be advertised on there. But, maybe if a reader of my issue doesn't have access to the internet on a regular basis, they may not know about these websites. Also, some people only know a few band merch websites, so if a variety are published, this will attract attention to them and may even provide the reader with a new website to buy from.

Polls

Magazines often feature polls that the reader can take just for fun. Normally, in a Rock Music Magazine, it will be questions like : ‘Do you prefer digital or physical copies of music?’ or ‘What is your favourite album at the moment?’. I think it would be good to feature a couple of polls because once again, it keeps the reader entertained and its something else to do as well as reading the content.

I have selected my three favourite ideas for the double page spread of my magazine. I really like these ideas because I feel like I will be able to add a lot of detail into my article as I know quite a bit about the three ideas (I am aware of the ticket websites, I managed to get tickets to a top show and I am beyond obsessed with a band and I know how it feels when you feel like a group of people are ruining your life because you love them so much). Over the next few slides, I have developed my ideas for each subject in order to give me a more clear idea of what I am going to include in my double page spread.

Article about touts who buy tickets to sell at more than double of the price.

These websites allow people who have bought tickets to shows, to sell them to other people. Most of the time, the tickets are put up for over double of the original price.

You are made out to be not a real fan if you don’t buy tickets from these websites.

People now deliberately buy tickets to shows that they have no intention of going to just to sell them and make a profit.

The recent Slipknot tour has caused an uproar with fans, over 400 tickets are on these website for each show.

Headline Ideas –Touting Ticket Trouble, Fuming Fans Outrage, SlipNOT, Selfish Sellers Strike.

I will use pictures of some of the bands who have had roaring ticket sales on these websites, and the logos of the websites to stay clear of.

I could also do some research to find out how much an average ticket goes for on these kind of sites and make a chart comparing to face value price.

I would also like to include some reviews of the website from the internet of people who think these sites are a scam and should not be allowed to operate.

A write up on a recent show that happened with photos from the show and what people thought of it.

The ‘Blink Brixton’ shows were very popular and the show was amazing. Every fan wanted to be at one of these shows.

Main Headline Idea – BLINK ONE EIGHTY REVIEW.

This was the show where I took the photos at from my contact sheet, so I will include these in the piece alongside the writing.

I would like to feature the set list that Blink 182 played on the night.

In this article, I will include a star rating out of five based on other reviews from the internet, I don’t want to base it on my opinions because they are my favourite band and it would be very biased.

I would like to put quotes in from the show, for example, Tom Delonge changed the lyrics in some of the songs just for the show and some fun.

A piece about a super fan of a band who dedicates their life to the band and owns a lot of merchandise.

This will be in the style of an interview. The questions asked by the interviewer will be in a different colour to the answers given from the super fan.

Photos in this article will be of the ‘Super Fan’ with items from their collection and in a shirt that have the band on.

The band that the ‘Super Fan’ is going to be in love with is Blink 182. You will see all of the merchandise and band related stuff.

Questions will include: When did you first become a fan of the band? And How did you become so obsessed with them?

Headline Ideas –Super Fan (twist on Super Man), In Love with Blink 182, Young Girl Devotes Life to Band.

In the photos, I want my model to look as proud as possible so the reader can see just how much they love the band.

I will add some quotes from the super fan that are not in the interview to give the reader more detail.

I will have two kinds of photos, some in the fan’s bedroom, and some at my dance studio.
