Task Outline

I have been asked to create a Music Magazine for my Media Studies AS Course. For this I will have to creae a front cover, conents page, and double page spread of the magazine. This will involve focusing of traditional aspects of conventional magazines such as the masthead (the title of the magazine), the left third (a space reserved for less important stories of the magazine, placed so that they will not be covered if the magazine is placed on sale), and the tagline (a quote or 'slogan' that increases the possibility the reader will buy the magazine). I will have to design the magazine specifically to fit with conventions of the chosen genre of the magazine itself, in order to appeal to the desired target audience. This will include using representations and sterotypes through imagery, for example through use of mise en scene and costume within the main image.
