Hello all,
Over the holidays can you make sure you have done:
• Annotation of front covers(3), Contents pages(3), double page spreads (3).
• Detailed case study on a music magazine of your genre and read thoroughly. Use the following headings:
o Background and ownership.
o Content and approach to music. (What genre of music are they aiming at? What is the reader profile? What is the style of the magazine?)
o Editorial content: comment from the magazine editor/owner and reader interaction.
o Analysis of double page spreads – to include layout and language (3)
o Promoting the industry and other products.(What else do they offer/advertise? (Eg Kerrang with its convergence of many media opportunities)
You should complete your blog with an analysis of what you think the future for music magazines and print publishing in general is(the industry is in a lot of trouble due to the credit crunch and the increasing availability of digital technologies and on line content?).
Also complete:
Flat plans, sketches/mock-ups(min. x 2), photo shoots, interviews, writing copy. You should also create a Reader profile for your magazine, questionnaire or focus group feedback on initial ideas for cover, colours, fonts, title, contents.
Practise on Photoshop (Remember to use the photoshop sessions after school with Mrs blessett)
Make use of the holidays and daylight to set up photo shoots and get your initial ideas for copy written.
Merry Christmas! :)
