Naming my magazine.
I have decided to name my magazine "Progress" there were many factors behind me naming my magazine this. Firstly, all of the magazines i have researched in the rock genre e.g. "Kerrang!" and "Rocksound" all have have a very simple and easy to remember name. This is what drew me to having a very simple two syllable name. The term progress means something ever changing and improving , which will be a main skyline or strapline on my front cover. It also links to the recording feature which will be featured in my double page spread.

Inspiring Images.
This is the style of shots i will be attempting to create. This will follow on with my plan for the photographs to be in a recording studio setting. These images show the various artists of the band "Billy Talent" recording there new record. These images were featured in "kerrang!" as a " World Exclusive" which again is another point i want to stress during my photoshoot.

Plan For Photographs.
For my images i will be using in my magazine i have several different aspects i have to think about.
Firstly, the people who are being photographed will have to match a certain stereotype by the way they look and act. The kind of style i want them to have is similar to this of "Oli Sykes"who is featured heavily in both "Kerrang!" and"Rocksound". Secondly, i want the setting to be unique and different, my initial idea is to place the shoot in the studio as a " World Exclusive" on the artists recording an up and coming record. This will give the reader an immediate personal connection as it seems they are the only person who will get an insight on this record. Finally, there will be several props involved in this shoot. The band i will be featuring are a two piece acoustic guitar band , so therefore the main props being used will be two acoustic guitars along with a recording studio which will be used as the main setting with various equipment and computers involved in the background.
