PRINT BRIEF

Preliminary exercise: produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally candidates must produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of the program.

Main task: the front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine 

 

TASK 1:

Explain your brief choice (music magazines) and the genre you are thinking of doing. Explain why you have chosen this genre and what you hope to learn.

Explain how the preliminary task will help you to prepare for the main task and what you hope to achieve.

I have chosen to construct a teen music magazine. I picked this genre because it would be compatible with my age also the type of music i tend to listen to. I hope to learn more about how magazines advertise this genre and how it is portrayed by the audience. 
I think it will help me prepare for the main task as the age of the target audience is roughly the same. I will also help me gain the skills i will need to effectively complete the task.
