Here are some images which caught my eye during my research; I created a primary moodboard containing a collection of images which I feel will influence my final design:
As the Indie industry is mainly dominated by male artists, most of the band images are of shaggy haired males, but as there is a large female audience, keeping good looking males somewhat involved in my magazine will be an important selling point! However, I plan to use the 'indie look' to promote my female band which I plan to write about in my feature article, as well as having unkempt looking (but highly attractive) men somewhere on the front cover! As Indie is popular with females, I will use the same kind of look as I have found in my research, but apply it to a female band.
All the album covers seem to feature obscure, colourful artwork, brightly coloured photos, or simply a black and white image (usually if the band is more famous e.g. The Killers). The bright colours are eyecatching and will work well in a magazine, so I will base my colourscheme on some of the images I have found today, to attract attention. The 'weird and wonderful' designs seem to be popular within the genre, so the target audience are likely to be attracted to arty images and logos in the magazine.
