Brief and contents page analysis • For my main coursework task I will be creating a music magazine front cover, contents and

double page spread. My music magazine will be a high standard due to the skills learnt from the preliminary task of creating a school magazine, I learnt how to work my way around photo shop and what looks good and what doesn't. From analysing these contents pages I also learnt what I need to include to appeal to my genre of audience. I will also be analysing contents pages and double page spreads to also get a better idea of how mine should look, those will be on a separate slide.

Title-Big bold and white to stand out to audience.

Title of mag clash, background got red, red has connotations on conflict and aggression.

His eyes are closed symbolise he relaxed.

Title on top of him to promote title may be a not well established mag yet.

Title covered a little shows well established mag we do not need to see the whole thing.

Strap line-Freshman class symbolise their all still young and new, also it says mix tape which is one step down from a an album, therefor their on the rise.

He's in front of title which indicates is already a well established mag, therefore it doesn't need1 to be fully shown.

Cannot tell strait away if it on his t-shirt or if it’s a secondary title to show him and the magazine are connected.

Sell stories, to entice the audience, they want to read gossip.
