Statement Of Intent

For my brief I am to create a front cover and double page spread of my music magazine, of any music genre of our choice. My magazine will be targeted around 14-18 year olds who love or are interested in R&B Pop.  The production of this project is how we can use media language and how we can get a point across to the target audience. To use media language I would need to look at the costumes the model can wear, props, lighting and positioning of the model. In my front cover I will show cover lines that are really in depth and will also show more information about it on the double page spread. It will also have a masthead, strap line and a bar-code. The masthead I’ve been thinking of for the front cover is ‘Beyond’ because I thought it would really link to the style of R&B Pop, where it would show the audience to look more further to the side that R&B POP and that there is more to it. With the masthead I would need a model wearing a specific type of clothing showing the genre of my magazine, with this it would also give clues to the reader of what genre my magazine is along side with certain cover lines. The model will also wear an accessory and will be behind or under the masthead; the model will be looking straight towards the camera, showing the angle of gaze. 

I will also be gathering different camera shots for both of my products and would be choosing what one would work best for the covers. For the magazine front cover I was thinking of using a medium shot or a close up and will also produce some fonts to match the genre. The colour schemes I might be using is somewhere between a very light grey and maybe a pink colour white and black. To be creating my the music front cover and double page spread I will be editing it all on Photoshop.
