Presentation.

Magazine Pitch (1)
This is my PowerPoint presentation on my magazine pitch, I used this as a visual aid as I talked around it and pointed out schemes and layouts that I liked, it was also good for showing people my influences and inspirations through the means of pictures on my first slide.
I talked through what my original ideas for my magazine was, which was going to be a magazine on Grunge but I was told that it would be a to niche make and that I would want to expand my idea's and go for a slightly more mainstream genre of music, I was told that rock would probably be the best nearest choice to rock, so I decided to do quite recent rock bands that were influenced by grunge, so  have included bands like foo fighters and The crooked vultures, both of which feature Dave Grohl who used to be in the very famous grunge band Nirvana. I then went through on how I would like my layout, I also based it on my research and included some pictures of layouts that I liked, Like Q and NME, I also then said that for my main image I would like a main picture of the band that I am going to manufacture and some smaller pictures about solo artists and projects that other rock bands are working on.
I then talked about the colour scheme that I am going to use, based on the magazines that I used I saw that most of the used the colour scheme red, black and white and I thought that the colour scheme worked really well and also worked for the genre of music that I am doing.
I then moved on to a part of my presentation that involved the audience, I had four titles and I asked which one of them they preferred, I found that nobody liked the first two quite aggressive sounding magazine names (Skarring and Rampant) but I got a majority vote on Rift and some minor votes for collision, I'm quite glad that my audience had a majority vote on Rift because I had chosen that to be the best sounding name that works well before the vote.
I then went on to talk about my target market for my magazine, which I said would be majorly more teenage males but with an age cap going up to about 22, I thought that girls do also like modern rock but I found when I did some research on it its about a 70 30 split of boys to girls.
I then had finished my presentation and was asked some questions like  'what is the layout of your contents page going to look like?' which I answered saying that I was going to have a big picture on one side and all the contents listed on the right, which smaller pictures outlining other articles in the magazine. Another question I was asked was 'how would I dress my band?' I replied by saying that modern rock bands now seem to wear quite casual clothes, we're  talking jeans and hoodies which I already have access to and most of my friends do to so it shouldn't be to hard to dress the band up.
I felt that my presentation went quite well considering I had to change the genre of music that I was going to do it on.
