vote on names

I wrote all my possible names for my magazine down and asked people in my school to vote on which they preffered. 'Indie Scene' (IS) got the most with 6 votes however 'Indipendent Lable Rock' and 'New Wave Rock' both had 4 votes each.

Indie Rock

Indie Rock

Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1980s. Indie rock is extremely diverse.

Indie stands for indipendent lables and generaly the music is from unsigned artists and does not often apear in the popular charts.

The early bands were the likes of R.E.M, Oasis and others all portraying a new era of music. today bands such and Bombay Bicycle Club, Kaiser Chiefs and Kasabian (who you can see above).

fasion is extreemly important in indie rock, and portraying the right steriotypical image will be vital for my magazine. I do not want the models in the magazine looking like they are rappers or soul singers they need to reinforce the magazines identity.

Feedback


In class we all looked at each others blogs and final pieces and gave feedback in order for them to improve their work. The feedback given to me can be seen above. the general impression was that my work was good with a consistant house style. However their were small improvements that i could make such as on my blog insure that the lables were clear and make the explinations more detailed.
