Introduction.
For my AS Media Coursework, I have chosen to do the DTP task and create the front cover, the contents page and a double page spread of a music magazine. I decided to do the printing task, instead of the filming task, as the individual work gives me the opportunity to use my creative skills and explore one of my own interests, music journalism. There is a huge variety of music magazines being published at the moment, ranging from those that specialise in mainstrain music such as Q, to those that include rather less known music such as NME. I personally listen to new and upcoming musicians, that come under the genre of "Indie", therefore, this will be the genre of my magazine and the focus will be on those unknown artists wanting to get into the industry. As I also enjoy live events, such as festivals and underground gigs, I will include aspects of live performances, such as photographs and interviews, in my magazine. The picture to the left, is the NME issue for the 16th February 2008, it is a typical indie magazine and includes all the conventions you would associate with my chosen genre therefore I will look further into them later on in my research.
