Title of my magazine

I am staying with the original name that i used for my preliminary task as i feel taht it is simple but yet catchy enough for the reader to remember, it is also linked with music, as music involves vibrations, not only in the making but in the performing and dancing, feel the 'vibe'. The text is going to be in capitals as the word is rather short, it will help it stand out along with the bold font. The connotes an image of urgentness and edginess, this combimes nicely with the style and genre of my magazine.

Indie Rock

Indie Rock is a genre originated from Britain and America in 1980's. The Velvet Underground was a rock group from America and was one of the most influential groups in the 1960's. They first shot to fame when they performed at Andy Warhol's factory. The band experimented with different types of genres and mixes of music, they introduced a 'nihilistic' outlook through some of their music.
The groups image, connotes a rebellious image, that they are leaders not ones to follow the crowd. They are the first band to experiment with indie- rock so they broke the mould and set the foundations for others to build on. Their clothing is dark and their expressions are serious, this image is a juxtaposition from a different genre of music, such as pop music.
Magazines in present time still use the same edgy style and colours, a few cloolurs have been added but the style is still relatively similar.

Front Cover Image Ideas

I used this style in my magazine as it creates a provocative image, with a dangerous element.
