Design Brief

My project brief is to create a magazine product including a front cover, contents page and a double page spread while sticking to conventions of the music genre I have chosen. 
From my survey analysis and my competitor magazine analysis I have created a design brief to guide me in the right direction when creating my product.

• My colour scheme will be red, black and white which are conventional colours to use in magazines and journalism.
• My magazine should be a fun and friendly product with an informative mode of address to express my genre of pop.
• My contents page will have at 50:50 picture:text radio so it appeals to both halves of my demographic, the ones who like visual content and the ones who are passionate about music and want strong information about the artists.
• I will have one cover star who will be a female, I will dress her in a pretty, sparkly dress and she will wear a lot of make-up to express my genre of pop, which is fun and modern.
• I will include a variety of stars and topics in my contents page.
• I will do an interview on my double page spread, probably interviewing my cover star about a new album or a tour.
• I will use at least 4 photos on my contents page as I know a lot of my demographic will prefer visual content.
• My magazine will be neat and organised.
• My magazine will show a passion for music, a knowledge of music and will give its readers all the most up-to-date pop-music gossip.
• I will have a strong feature article photo as my demographic have said that is what they think is the most important feature on a front cover, so I will make sure my model has strong eye contact and a lot of attitude to grip a potential readers attention.
