Welcome to my AS media blog , I will be using this space
to publish all my thoughts and ideas towards completing the preliminary task
that I have been given to complete by the 18th of October.
The brief I have been given for this preliminary task is
to create a new music magazine front cover using photoshop.
I have chosen to create a new hip hop magazine , before
I start making my own front cover I will look at first of all common
conventions of music magazines in general and compare them with each other,
looking at how using certain features may imply or send across a message to the
reader , e.g. using bold black sans serif font for a rock magazine in
comparison to using a serif black font for a classical music magazine , then
look at common conventions specifically in hip hop magazines such as XXL ,
Billboard , Fader and The source in order to keep my hip hop magazine relevant.
I have chosen to create a hip hop magazine as this is my
favourite genre of music and therefore I have a good knowledge of the culture
and artists that are currently relevant. I would say because of this I have a
good idea of what someone that is interested in hip hop would want to read in a
hip hop magazine, this would help me with deciding which features stories I
should put on the front cover to entice the buyer.
