Introduction

Names Melody Cornford. I am studying AS Media in La Swap. For this course we have been asked to create a sample of a music magazine. Within this we have to produce a front page, contents page and a main feature of a fictional artist we wish to promote. This must be completed by the 8th December ...this gives us 11 weeks. In preparation for this, we must first carry out a preliminary task. This enables us to gain experience in using programs such as Adobe Photoshop, which will be used continuously throughout this piece of work. 


Our brief is to design a new music magazine that targets an audience between 16-19 years old within the UK magazine audience. This magazine is to be sold on a bi-weekly basis. We must decide on a title, the genre, its house style and form, brand identity and logo, its use of representations and ideologies, the target audience and whether it is a regional or national magazine. We must also choose the magazine conventions and compare to existing music magazine publications. It must include original images only (no found images).
