Introduction to Coursework

I have been asked to create a front cover, contents, double page spread for a music magazine of a genre of my choice.  For my research for this coursework I must; analyse two music magazine front covers, two contents pages and 2 double page spreads, all of which in my chosen genre, so I can see similar aspects used for my target audience. Before creating this I first need to complete my preliminary task; to analse a college magazine and create a mock front cover of one, a mock-up of a contents page for it and then justify my choices. Also before creating my magazine pages, I must make mock-up versions of a front cover, contents and double page spread along with doing photoshop practices and mock shots.

I must create a mood board on my chosen genre for further research along with creating a production schedule. I must get venue release forms for where I take the photographs of the band and take risk assessments.
