Photoshoot etc.

My photo shoot will take place on Monday 13th of December when Charlie, Jack and Tom will be in the studio. I will take some close up direct pictures of them there and go to their band practice on Tuesday the 14th to take some photos of them playing.

Front Cover Draft

I've made a draft for the front cover of my magazine. The first thing i'd change on my final piece is the centre image, I want an image of the band looking directly at the audience. My taglines of 'Paul Weller' 'Alex Turner' and 'Carl Barat' will also be different and I will make them look alot more professional when I make my final design. I think my main title stands out well and my headline of 'Bangladeshi' also is very eye catching. My font from dafont.com also fits well with my genre of magazine. On my final design I will include a date, advertisements and other details that I haven't put in this idea.

An Interview With Bangladeshi Fight Club.

BFC are a modern day indie band from Lancashire currently making headlines in the music world for their soothing, brilliant, easy listening acoustic tracks. 

The band consists of 3 members, Charlie Hitchen, Jack Anwyll and lead singer Tom Randall. Success came after 3 covers hit the internet and views soared. They covered Kings of Leon's 'Use Somebody', Two Door Cinema Club's 'Undercover Martyn' and The Smiths masterpiece 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out'.

They then went on to write various other tracks such as 'Manchester to Exeter' and 'Take Me Home', thus gaining attention from Bombay Bicycle Club a similar sounding band who liked what they heard. They toured with BBC on their acoustic tour of England playing in Churches and other un likely venues along the way. 

After a very successful year Bangladeshi Fight Club are touted to be the next support band for Mumford and Sons UK and worldwide festival tour.

Due to this success we want to be the first to publish the story of this wonderful acoustic trio and here is the first ever interview in Start! magazine.

Start! - So then boys, how did you feel when you got the call off Jack Steadman of Bombay Bicycle Club asking you to tour with them?

Charlie - Well I was the fortunate one to get the call off Jack, and to be totally honest I didn't believe it was him, all he said was "I like your acoustic stuff, do you want to come on tour with us?" 

He was really cool and once I got over the shock I just casually rung the boys, like you do when Jack Steadman makes that kind of offer you just can't refuse!

Tom - Yeah, when Charlie rung, I didn't really know what to say, it was a bit of a pinch yourself type of moment, didn't really think it was real

Jack - Funny thing is, when Charlie found out he tried to ring me but I was writing a new song with my dad, so I didn't remember to ring him back and only found out a week later at band practice. I basically just slapped him round the face and said stop bullshitting to me, he wasn't impressed and tried to hit me with his guitar. 

Plan

My magazine will be called Start! - This is The Modern Waste

I will be using photographs taken by myself of a band using a digital camera.

My font will be used from dafont.com and my target audience will be 16-30 year olds, particuarly males.

Article Analysis

This is a small article about the Arctic Monkeys second album Favourite Worst Nightmare from NME. The layout has a large picture of the band in question at the top to show readers who its about. Then the headline is a rough guide to the article's content. This article is in a question/interview format with a question, then answer straight away. 

The content itself is very informal and colloquial terms are used such as slang and words the target audience of NME would most certainly recognise.
