Introduction to NEA Brief

We have been assigned to design and create a music magazine front cover and a double page spread for 14-18 year olds. I know that I will enjoy this because I am a huge fan of music and I will be able to have a clear understanding of what 14-18 year old might want to see on a magazine.

I am excited to spend a big amount of time trying to create my magazine because I really enjoyed making my prelim magazine as it helped me improve my media skills. When I am working on this magazine I am hoping to improve my photo shop skills as it was very hard to understand because i had not used it in a very long time before that. I am also looking forward to work with my model as my favourite part of making the magazines was taking the pictures before actually designing my magazine.

I am also looking forward for the research because it’s interesting to see what teenagers prefer over other genres or ideas. This will help me a lot as it will be easier for me to know what I need to include in my magazines. I am also eager to identify some new conventions as we are studying music magazines and it is different to what I have done in my prelim which was related more to fashion.

 However, I am not looking forward for the research as it can take a very long process to get a decent amount of information so you know what exactly your target audience is looking for. Teenagers are very different and they prefer different colours, fonts or genres and the answers that I will get in my surveys will be very different which will also make confused about what to pick for my target audience.

I used the Quick Selection Tool for my main image to get rid of the studio background and then I put the image over the masthead. I added a few cover-lines on the side to get started with the colour scheme for my magazine which was red and black. On my flat plan I created the idea to add a graphic on my magazine ti make it stand out. I used the Ellipse tool to create the graphic and added text on top of it with two colours. Towards the end I changed the font i used for my artists name and I changed the fonts for my cover-lines to Arial Bold. This was because the serif fonts did not make the magazine look like an RnB/Hip Hop magazine so Arial Bold made my magazine look much better. For my double page spread I already had typed up my article about my artist and pasted it on separately. I used the same font I used on my cover for the artists name. I also added a signature of the artist to fill...
