Treatment
I am creating a magazine which will focus on genre's of music focused around a niche rock audience, this would be that of acid/psychadelic rock, therefore resulting in a prodominately older, male audience. 35-55, but hopefully be able to feature bands which could appeal to a younger audience as sub-genre's have emerged such as Neo-psychadelia which seems to be unknowingly popular ammongst younger people, which could also open the audience to people of all ages, but due to its genre specificness, the magazine still has to be classified as Niche.
This magazine will feature a front conver, a contents page and then a double page spread - 4 pages in total.
The magazine will be called "Acid", most obviously for one of the main featured genre's Acid rock, but the name also has multiple connotations.
Acid has a drug connotation to the narcotic substance LSD, a psychodelic drug which is heavily assosiated with the time period (1960's where these genre's emerged and still influence today) , and due to the genre's of music which feature strange irregular sounds and timings, this assosiation would seem appropriate, and the drug connotation give a very underground feel hopefully establishing the magazine as niche.
Acid (in its literal form) also Distorts metals(Metal a genre of music too which can be combined with genre's featured i.e. acid metal), which also reflects how the new effects of the time period (such as distortion, and other distrorting affects) where featured for the first time in this genre of music which still influences today.
I will take photo's for the magazine, which will be identified when took for where appropriate, as i will need to shoot for A Front cover image, a double page spread image, and multiple images that will create the magazines verisimilitude, e.g. pictures in contents page, on front cover to show what will be featured within the magazine.
I did reaserch into how to lay the magazine out, and did this by observation of other magazines, (i used "Kerrang", "NME" and "Q") and through trial and error in my draft which is posted on the blog. A specific layout is not currently decided for the magazine, but i will probably look into how my draft will look with the photo's i plan on taking.
Before carrying out my task of producing the magaize, i will ensure that health and safety can be taken into account when i start my project, before any photo's are taken i will ensure that lighting is not overpowered or facing someone's retina directly to avoid damage to the persons eyes, and make sure that wires on the floor are in a safe position that is away from where people will be walking so they cannot fall over the wires.
If anyone is hurt in the production, i will consult the first aider Vicky Rowntree in M138, and if a fire is to occur the evacuation assembly point is the Front Football Pitch.

The Tasks i need to carry out to finish my final production are:

• Find suitable characters to feature for the photographs, and also use appropriate outfits and propps; camera filters may also be used.
• Take Photographs to use for my front cover, double page spread, and contents page.
• Produce a layout of the magazine, which will be roughly based upon the draft magazine i have produced.
• Evaluate my work when relevent, to see how it can be improved.
