Main Task - My Chosen Genre

What I Have Chosen to Do

When choosing my genre, I have to choose certain aspects which can help me to make the best possible final project. These aspects are;

• Target audience
• Representations of the artists
• Conventions of the magazine

For me, the best possible genre to do is Pop. This is because it is popular in today's society, meaning there is lots more resources for me to look at and get inspiration from, which means there is also a lot more to discuss and analyse.

The other reason behind me choosing this genre is because I already have an idea of how the product will look, including the images of the five original photos i will produce as well. Also, I already have  vision for the models I will use for my magazine and have already had the people say that they would like to model for this music magazine, which means less fuss when it comes to the photography.

The magazine will have many photos of artists. These artists will be represented as classy, but with a young feel about them. They will have new fashionable clothes, which is what most pop icons wear. The artists will be shown in a positive happy light which will be reflected by a high key lighting, which shows the artists of who they really are and also implies they have nothing to hide. The setting of the main cover photo will be outdoors.

The magazine will also conform to many conventions of a normal pop magazine. It will consist of mainly bright, vibrant colours, which will attract the target audience, which is mostly teenagers. The layout of the magazine will consist of a masthead, which is big and bold, and a couple of cover lines around the outside which will be illustrated by some smaller photos. The artist is going to be the main aspect of the magazine, and the font will be all in sans-serif font, making it look fresh and fun. Here are the types of fonts I will use;
