Mind Map Ideas

 To get loads of different ideas i decided to do a mind map to decide what type of magazine i wanted to create. I first started with the three genres i was considering doing- rock, indie and pop. I then broke them up into three bigger mind maps to go in to detail about them.
Rock

I broke each mind map into four sections- pictures, mise en scene, names and colours. As you can see under each section i have wrote a few ideas for each of them. When thinking of the rock genre i looked at other magazines relating to the genre and seen that the main image was a studio and others were mainly gig ones of the bands. Most of the people featured in the magazines were bands so i would carry this through to mine. Also, rock is seen as 'rebelish' and 'dark' so this would've been portrayed through my mise en scene. I struggled with the names for this the rock genre so i knew there was definately going to be a difficultness if i was to create a rock magazine. Also, the colours of the magazine would be quite dark and i was hoping to do something brighter and more eye catching.


Pop

Again, i looked at the pop genre and what i would include if i was to make a pop magazine. The pictures are quite 'clean cut' and perfect with the lighting bright but not natural and the models being made to look perfect. This can be shown through the pictures and the mise en scene. From researching other pop magazines i could see that they are more about gossip than music. Also, the pages are quite 'busy' with bright colours, different fonts and loads of pictures being on the page. This is what turned me away from doing a pop magazine as i felt like i might not be able to produce one to look realistic up to others on the market.

Indie

When thinking about the indie genre i thought of the words 'hippy' and 'relaxed'. This is what i would want to portray in my magazine. To do this differnt shoots inside and outside would have to be arranged. Also, the costumes would have to relate to the different types of artists you can find in an indie magazine.The name of the magazine would also have to be unusual so at the moment i really like the names 'KOKO' and 'TRIBAL'.


After the planning and research i have come to the conclusion that my magazine is going to be of the indie genre.
