For my main AS coursework piece i have to design a music magazine to a genre of my choice. The magazine must include a front cover contents page and a double spread including a main article.
To achieve the highest level possible i have to consider the audience and what stories will be most enjoyed by that audience. I will also have to include photos which i have taken myself and an article on the double page spread which i have written on a specific topic linked to the theme of my magazine.
To design the best magazine i can i will have to research other magazines from different genres. This will give me ideas of things to include in my magazine and the style for it.
For my preliminary task i had to design a college magazine with a front cover and contents page. This enabled me to learn how to use flat plans and imaging programmes which would help me for my main coursework. By doing this i learnt about colours, images and text and how different things can affect how the audience may look at it. This has let me get a general understanding of how magazines work.
For my magazine i have decided to design my magazine around the 'indie' genre this means i can include many different bands/artists as indie covers alot of different sub-styles. I was influenced to do an indie magazine from magazines such as NME or Kerrang.
