Artist Profile

Making his way up from nowhere Danny Tee is making his mark on the indie rock scene, with the hopes of his small but thriving fan base held high, for the release his first album. After, dropping out of Bristol University weeks before his second year was due to begin, as he wanted to put everything into his music career. He has been playing guitar for his entire music career.

At Uni Danny met a drummer, who loved drumming as much as Danny loved singing and playing guitar, his new friend, Liam Thymes, provided a simple but strong enough beat for Danny to work with and they soon formed a two piece, although Danny Tee is the front man and still takes most of the glory, they named themselves The Villatorres.

Pitch Ideas-Double page spread

For my double page spread i am going to use a similar style to a double page spread i have already analysed (The vaccines). I will try and make the page split down the middle, with the image on one side and the text on the other side of the page. And i will write in coloumn form to keep the page looking clean and in line.
The other idea i may incorporate in my doube page spread is very similar to my first idea, but i will have the min image of the spread at the top part of the page and have the writing underneath. In this case i would still right in coloumns but i would think about writing about 4 coloumns to fit across the whole page, as opposed to only using 2 and leaving white space.

Pitch Ideas-Contents page

Contents page:-
Following the anlyses i have done on contents pages, i plan to lay mine out using 2 main columns of text, which will be bordering around a main image that will take most of the attention of the page.

I would also use smaller text boxes around the image and, 1 small box within the corner of the image for anchorage of the image. I would like to achieve something similar to Q magazines contents page on the left of my post.

Pitch Ideas-Title

My ideas for the title of my magazine:-
- VOLITION (Meaning to choose, suggests there is no right or wrong to the music you listen to. connotations to the origins of indie rock that came from the u.s college radios in the 80's as gradually groups of students neglected the more mainstream music scene.)

- STRIVE (Meaning to work hard to achieve something, could reflect on the efforts that the current indie rock bands have been through to get where they are today, some have come from working class background and have simply succeeded with a mix of talent and determination. Also could act as a subliminary message that you can achieve such as these iconic bands by working hard.)

- ORIGIN (Used in the sense that something has risen from somewhere, and in relation to my magazine how indie rock has risen to be a huge part of the british music culture.)

-IRM (This has no connotations, it is simply an acronym for Indie Rock Magazine, i have used inspiration from NME magazine to possibly use this title)

Pitch Ideas-Colour Palette

Colour palette:-

The colour palette i am aiming to use is mainly monochrome (black and white) but i will also use red, to bring some colour to the cover to draw attention to it! Similar to this cover of rolling stone magazine! My magazine concentrates on purely british music, so i will also try to encorporate a blue white and red palette to match with the british 'Union Jack' flag.

I like this color palette as it creates a very clean image and makes the cover look like there isnt too much going on. The red shadowing to the writing also adds an extra dimension to it and gives it a bit more impact allong with the red box on the right of the page.
