Introducing my brief

During this task i need to create a magazine cover for a music magazine. I am hoping to target people who are into pop music and represent pop music as a whole. I plan to call my magazine "Whats popping?"

I will need to take a picture for my front cover which attracts my target audience, my plan is to get a close up of a musicians face and surround their face with cover lines and strap lines. My initial idea was to get a picture of someone who's angle of gaze is not directly at the audience but this may not be a good idea as it is not as good for attracting buyers and the target audience.

Inside my brief I will need information about big upcoming pop concerts and gossip about some celebrity's who are related to the pop industry. One of the main focuses of my contents will be pop celebrity's partners and their relationships. This includes any break ups, get togethers, and gossip.

To create the perfect magazine i will need to perform certain tasks before. For example i need to deconstruct some media texts and create a rough example and drawing of what id like to create.

I think i will find it easy to take a picture for my front cover as i spend alot of my time outside school with cameras where i create videos and pictures as a hobby. I may find it hard to find the right person to actually represent pop music on my front cover but once i have found them the picture should be easy.
