Statementof

intent

Arbnor Hisenaj

The name of my magazine is

“i-Magazine”.

Describe the design of your

title

Arbnor Hisenaj

My Title consists of the word ‘i’ which could be interpreted in 2 ways. I could stand for Indie, or if read between the lines, the reader will realise the letter is placed within a triangle to mimic the eye of Ra. I realised that the Indie culture tends to play around with historic era’s and make it there own. This is the reason why I choose to include this into my name.

Describe the design of your

title

Arbnor Hisenaj

The colour scheme consists of a contrasting black, white and eye-catching blue.

What is your colour

scheme?

Arbnor Hisenaj

The masthead will be attached to a horizontal line that goes across the top of the page, however the triangle will look like its growing out of the line so attention is drawn to it.

How do you intend to

place your mast head?

Arbnor Hisenaj

The images will consist of a band dressed in Indie-like clothing, along with musical instruments such as guitars, keyboards, drums, microphones etc. The images will follow conventions of an indie magazine so the reader will recognise the genre, it is important as the images tend to be the largest element on the front page and tend to be noticed first/from afar.

What sort of images

will you be using for

your front page and

why

Arbnor Hisenaj

It tells them that the Magazine is written and designed for people who are interested in underground and new music. The Magazine will include interesting articles about new bands, album/song reviews and photo’s from the biggest gigs.

What does the image tell

your potential target

audience about the

content of the magazine?

Arbnor Hisenaj

Yes, as I will play around with the editing, positioning and angle of the image so it becomes more appealing and interesting.

Will your target

audience find your

front image

appealing? And Why?

Arbnor Hisenaj

And if not, why not?

Arbnor Hisenaj

I will not be including other images as I do not want to distract the reader from the main image which will be placed within a triangle (triangles will be used constantly used in my magazine to represent it’s identity). Also, text will be laid-out out artistically surrounding the image so it mimics an image of its own.

Would you be

including other

images on the front

cover?

Arbnor Hisenaj

My potential target audience are people who are interested in indie/alternative rock music. If I was to be more specifically, college/university students as distribution will be more concentrated in there institutions.

Who is your potential

target audience?

Arbnor Hisenaj

Because the music featuring in my magazine is likely to be of there taste.

Why and how do you know

this?

Arbnor Hisenaj

A series of artists will be mentioned with a mixture of reviews, articles and interviews of new up and coming bands. This will increase the reputation of the magazine as artists will have been discovered there first.

What articles will be found in your front

magazine? (Cover lines)

Arbnor Hisenaj

The font will be consistently used and the subject will link to the theme of the indie genre.

How will these cover lines

relate to the title of your magazine?

Arbnor Hisenaj

One Font as I do not want the front seem to complicated and off-putting. The font I have chosen is ‘Bebas Neue’. This a capitalised bold font which contains an iconic feel similarly to Helvetica.

How many different fonts will

you use for your front

cover? (style,

colour and size)

Arbnor Hisenaj

Yes, as the font can be compared to font’s used in Indie Magazine of today and if it has worked for them, then I will take this on board.

Will your chosen

font depict the genre

of your magazine?
