The foundation portfolio main task involves producing a front page, a contents page and a 2 page mock up of a music magazine. I am going to use the acronym LIIAR to talk about the key concepts of a music magazine.
Language- The language i am going to use will be simple, fun and entertaining and appealing to those who are interested in the music industry.
Ideology - The purpose of my music magazine will be to inform and entertain my target audience. I will do this by having articles about new and exciting music events and new albums and recently released songs. It will promote the music genre which i have decided to base my music magazine on.
Institution- A music magazine publisher.
Audience- My audience will target those who are interested in music, and who are interested in the genre which i will choose.
Representation- This all depends on the music genre the magazine has chosen to represent. For example Kerrang caters for a fan of the heavy metal/rock genre, where as Mixmag caters for a fan of a music genre of the complete opposite, this being clubbing music and represents today's 'clubber'. Whereas Kerang would chose to represent a band member on the front cover, Mixmag would rather opt for an attractive, young female.
NME has chosen to represent the news side of music and after ten years NME has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading sources for music news.
As my aim is to create a new and upcoming magazine i would probably choose to represent either a Rap/rnb music genre as these I am most interested in.
