Magazine Ideas

The genre for our music magazine will be R'n'B. We have chosen to base our magazine on R'n'B as this is the type of music we are most interested in and know most about. Our our knowledge of music and artists from the R'n'B genre will help us to improve our magazine overall.

Introduction for Foundation Portfolio: Music Magazine

For our project we have chosen to create a music magazine, this brief involves creating a front cover for the magazine, a contents page and a double spread page taking into account a range of different factors like the audience, conventions, representations, the role of technologies etc. We have chosen this because we are most interested in music and like the idea of photoshopping and creating our own magazine and feel that we could improve our photoshop skills and creating this brief will help us do so.
We are working in a pair because we think this will benefit us and our brief because we are both skilled in different ways and at different things so we could both bring a range of different elements to the design.
To make our project successful we will need to carry out a number of different researches like interviews and radio analysis. Also things like questionnaires which will give us some quantitve data which will allow us to gather some statistics.
