While carrying out all my other work, I am trying to get a start on my masthead for my front cover as after all the research I have carried out I have learnt the masthead is a very important element as it is the main element people remember from a magazine and one of the most eye catching so I need to make it original but I am struggling with original ideas that will match my genre. So far all I have came up with is using a record instead of an O in the word 'modern' for my masthead 'modern dated'

Over the past week I have began my pre-production planning, So far I have planned out the questions I shall ask for my interview and plan to carry out the interview on the 1st of January. I have left myself plenty of questions so that I have enough body text for my double page spread as it is better to cut out bit of an interview then not have enough answers from an interview. I have uploaded the questions to my blog using Scribd, so you can see the kind of answers I wanted to get from the artists.

Masthead ideas.
I have tried to sketch out many different masthead ideas, using different fonts for each and different ideas, such as smudging the word dated, mucking around with the order of the letters, using a musical note for a T.
However despite trying to make an original masthead I realised I was not very artistic, So have decided i won't use any of these and will instead think of another creative way to present my masthead that doesn't require artistic skills.

Modern Dated press release
Norwich, Norfolk- 27th June 2014, IPC MEDIA shall launch Modern Dated magazine. It will be purchasable by print or online, in shops or by order.
Modern Dated is unlike any other magazine on the market. It's refreshingly new!In this modern day we are constantly seeing recent and popular artists covering classic old songs such as; Ellie Goulding- Our song, Lily Allen- Somewhere only we know, Charlene Soraia- Wherever i will go.
These cover songs constantly prove most popular, yet there is no magazines on cover songs- so there is a clear gap in the market for this original magazine I present to you. It will attract a wide range of audiences by bringing old songs with new artists, the target audience age range will vary, the primary target audience will be teenagers (15-25) wanting to listen to the 'now artists' with a secondary audience of mature adults wanting to listen to songs they will know from decades ago, with a fresh new twist to them.
Modern dated will bring a fresh idea, with people's favourite songs and what music lovers WANT to know about to places such as; Norwich, Yarmouth, Kings Lynn, Thetford and surrounding areas in Norfolk. These are just where we will start our distribution with the rate in which Modern Dated will sell the ultimate goal we will achieve is selling Modern Dated world wide.
The magazine will include a wide range of interesting features with exclusive interviews, gossip on artists, advice on the best songs and festivals and that's only naming a few. This new original magazine will fill a gap in the market and have a huge audience finally able to find a magazine with all they want on a regular basis.
The magazine keeps up to date with this new active media by having accounts on what our audience voted as websites they use daily, so they can follow us and hear the latest information on Modern Dated. We also offer the option to purchase the magazine online and also as an app downloadable to any android, to suit all preferences and keeping up with the media trends.
Modern Dated aims to inform their audience on upcoming artists, the best festivals, the best albums. After already carrying out a sample magazine it is evident that our audience will cover a wide range of social groups because of the mixed genres cover songs could be.
We will also hold events throughout the year with high profile and upcoming artists to further promote the magazine while building connections with sponsors and advertising companies and also giving MDA's (Modern Dated awards) voted for by our audience, helping promote new artists while intriguing our audience with an interactive magazine.

Throughout the week I have been looking at press releases of magazines I have looked at numerous examples and then began to write my own. It is basically a couple paragraphs promoting your magazine so I included all about what is great about My magazine and put a lot of enthisis on the originality of my idea and how there is no other magazine like this and how they need to fill this gap in the market.

I finally finished my secondary design inspiration. I chose to present this on a new technology I learnt about called Prezi this was surprisingly easy to use compared to other soft wares I have used for the first time, I was able to insert images from my laptop straight to the prezi and it would automatically save my work as it went a long which is very useful. It also presented my secondary design inspiration in a slideshow like way making it look professional.
