Music Magazine-Making "BIGGA SOUNDZ"

My task was to creat a fornt cover, contents page and double page spread feature for my very own music magazine. I made a mind map of my ideas to help me see a little clear about what i actually wanted to produce. I decided:

• My target audience.


• Possible magazine names


• A description of my made up band


• The tree main colours on the front cover


• The over all theme of the magazine.


• A possible design layout

I stuck mostly, to the initail design that i produced of the magazine, making a few minor changes here and there.
The most difficult part of creating my magazine was deciding what to include on the front cover and how to fit it all in, lay it out and make it look realistic. I had to make various decisions and develop on ideas to make the magazine look how i wanted it to. Organising the photo shoot was difficult as i had to decide who i wanted to pose in my photos and where to shoot the photos.

I believe i managed my time very well and included everything in my magazine that i wanted to include. It was a difficult task, but fun at the same time. I belive that my final design is realistic and looks like a real R'n'B music magazine.

Music Magazine- My target audience

Whilest making my magazine i had to base most of my ideas on the target audience. I had to choose who and what age i wanted my magazine to be aimed at. I decided that my typical target aundience is someone in their early 20s, who loves going out clubbing, partying and socialising. My target reader love music (mainly R'n'B) and people who love the same music and things as them. They like knowing all celebrity gossip ad new songs and albums that are being released and they always have to be at the centre of every party and event. BIGGA SOUNDZ is aimed at both males and females.

Music Magazine-The photo shoot

When doing my photo shoot for my magazine i had to think about a few crutial things:

Mise-en-scene:

Location, Lighting, Make-up, Costume and Props. Here are some of my picture that i took:

Music Magazine-Questionaire and its feedback

I created a questionaire for my magazine so i could get some feedback of what a variety of different peole thought about my magazine. I printed out a picture of the front cover of my music magazine and attached it to the questionaire and then handed it out to a variety of people of different ages and different sexes.
