Main Task: Introduction

My name is Jay Rabess. I am an AS media student. I have been asked to complete a music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. To complete this task I will need to pick the genre of music that I am going to do. I will also do some mini tasks to understand the conventions of a magazine, such as a front cover textual analysis and a front cover conventions diagram, this will show me all the things that I need to add to my magazine to make it more realistic. After that I will do some audience research so I can see what my target audience expect in this magazine and what would make them buy my magazine. I may do a questionnaire add include questions such as, what artist to incelude in the magazine, what colours to use, what to call the magazine etc. We will also complete a mood board and upload the unmanipulated photos to get a before and after effect. We will then do our Magazine cover, contents page and double page spread. The genre I am doing is Hip-Hop.
