In this double media lesson on Thursday 5th November. We began to look at the areas needed for our main task of the coursework, Creating a music magazine with a contents and two page spread interview.
Our first task was to look., in depth, at certain readership and how the can say a lot about the type of person who reads a particular type of magazine. We were put in pairs and given a magazine between us to answer particular questions on. I was paired with Jake and we were given 'Junior' magazine. The questions we answered were:
What does this reader eat for breakfast?
What car/ mode of transport do they use?
What accommodation do they live in?
What do they drink?
What music do they like?
What sport do they play or watch?
Where do they go on holiday?
Are they married or single?
After answering these questions we gave feedback to the class about the magazine we were given. After this brief discussion we then researched existing music magazines, baring in mind these questions. Junior magazine seemed like a magazine that is aimed at couples with a lot of money that live in a house and have a fancy car. Also this magazine is aimed at people that go on expensive holidays and spend a lot on the image of their children.
The music magazine I researched was Classic rock magazine and found that the main article was on Metallica. I only assumed this from the front cover of the magazine and it had an iconic picture of the lead guitarist, and I was right. In addition to this, the title was in big, white, bold lettering and stood out form the page. The font of the title is very Also, around the bottom of the page it had other stories that were in the magazine and. The choice in colours with the black and whites and golds are used brilliantly to show that everything is clear and thought about carefully with a purpose. Another thing I noticed was that the top half of the page is left pretty bare, in comparison to the bottom half, creating a pyramid shape. There are about 3/4 different fonts on this page sand they are all used for different things. The other fonts are used for article titles, tag line, and freebies.Everything on this front cover is also appropriate to their ideal reader and genre of music. Everything on this fornt cover screams out rock: memorable title, snappy tag line, Iconic rock image, relevant rock articles and stories. From my research I found that the conventions of a music magazine are very clear. Everything from the title to the positioning images and texts are all thoguth about and done on purpose by the editor to make the magazine appealing.
