Introduction

Our main coursework task is to create a music magazine; we have to design the cover, contents page and a double page spread. It must be clearly aimed at a realistic target audience and our design choices must show this.

I have chosen to create a modern rock music magazine as this is an already established genre but to add a more interesting twist I will be designing an issue focussing on bands who are rejuvinating genres, for example Proto-Punk or New-Goth bands. This allows me to focus on a more niche and interesting area of music but still have an existing magazine model (which will make it easier for me to identify target audience etc).
