In my AS coursework we were asked to produce a magazine front cover, double page spread and a contents page. I began by researching a range of different music magazines and there particular genres, then i decided on my genre to be R&B as i have a particular interest in artists such as Rihanna and Beyonce, i then took my interests further and took a look into there styles of fonts, colours, costumes, and themes which i could adapt to my own ideas to. Throughout my research and planning after taking into consideration the typical conventions of a magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread i then had to decide what audience i was aiming my magazine at. In the end i chose teenages and not a specific gender due to the male gaze, as i would have both male and female artist on the front attracting each sex. I evaluated my work by comparing my original design specification ideas to the final product.
For my A2 coursework the main topic was to aim to create a music video consisting of techniques and conventions that we had research and specified for out final product. Along with the music video we created an artists identity and had to complete a magazine advert promoting the artists knew album, and therefore also design and product a digi-pak for our artist. The research consisted of looking through the different most common music video conventions that i could use, i also reviewed the make-up, costumes, and themes that came up for the genres. I chose my genre after picking my song due to the enthusiams i had for the song 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman. As a group we seperated the work equally in to the designing and refying of our design specifications. We took time out to evaluate each peices of completed work whether it was mocks, drafts or the final finished product, this helped us inprove certain factors that not only we thought we could improve.
