Magazine Preliminary Task | Brief & Statement of Intent

'Create a front cover and contents page of a new music magazine using Photoshop.'


With this project I feel I have loads of areas to explore with this one topic of magazine. I listen to a lot of music, so this can be a very broad subject where I have to pick a genre I feel will be best suited. By only designing the front cover and the contents page allows me to focus on small details and make sure that any features included relates well to what I'm trying to get across, it will give me full control over what people can see and how they interpret what is being represented. I haven't used Photoshop much before, but I hope from this new experience I will be able to develop my skill with the software and get a glimpse of what it's like to design a magazine professionally.

I intend on making my magazine relate to the music I listen to as it will have an honest approach towards how it's designed and a better understanding to the feedback I get. The genre would probably be either Hip Hop/R&B or Musical Theatre/Classical which I feel we don't see a lot of. I hope to make my magazine aesthetically pleasing and easy to look at, as well as being enticing with pops of colour and bold font, so that it can appeal to both genders.

Here are a few examples of themes that I aspire to incorporate into my magazine:
