Year 12 Half term homework - Magazines

We are going to move onto the full design task now and we need to start getting marks for pre-production evidence on our blogs.

What you need to do over half term is....

1. Research music magazines and their conventions:
This could be in a short essay form on your blog with lots of pictures.

2. Choose a Sub genre of music magazines and present some of the main titles in detail.
Title + picture of front cover + overall 'house style' + main appeals to the audience.

3. Write a short blog post titles: 'Why do people read music magazines?'
You need to analyse at least 4 or 5 different appeals.

4. For your chosen Sub-Genre (Rock, Dance, Pop etc) create a Target Audience Profile.
This should be extremely detailed:
Gender / Age / Ethnicity / Social Class / Income / Jobs / Location / Lifestyle choices / Brands / Media / Fashion etc etc

CHALLENGE:  (A* students only!); Interview and video members of this target market and ask them why they buy or dont buy music magazines and try and find out what they want in a music magazine.



Pl
ease ensure that all of this is on your blog when we come back after half term as it will get you good grades !!
