Initial ideas for Music Magazine

The magazine I am going to create will cater towards a more niche audience. It will consist of hard rock and metal bands, a sub-genre which is popular with its own audience but not as popular as other genres on the mainstream as a whole. Some examples of this sub-genre are popular metal bands like Disturbed and Slipknot, to some lesser known bands like Machine Head and Divine Heresy. This way, metal fans of all levels can enjoy my magazine.

This will use an informal mode of address, as this connotes rebellion and non-conformist, which are things this sub-genre is usually stereotyped as. The layout will follow the same style, informal and rebellious, as will the font used. Colours will generally be darker but certain things will be lighter to highlight them, such as text and image borders. Perhaps a yellow and black scheme, for example.
