Generating Ideas (P1, M1and U21)
Monday 16th January
Pass Task:
- How have you interpreted the client brief requirements?
- The explicit requirement is that its a music magazine for east London. I have been asked to create sample pages for the first edition of the magazine, to showcase talent and venues in the area. I have to create a front cover and a double page spread. I need to plan, pitch and sample ideas for the magazine, and it has to be original. The implicit requirements are in the client brief are that the magazine has a front cover and a double page spread, and that I need to plan, pitch, produce and edit the sample pages.
- Some ideas I have for the magazine cover is a girl group of three in neutral cohesive outfits. The weakness with this plan is that it could be a lot more difficult to plan out than other ideas because you would have to have an outfit planned for each person that all matches. Their picture could be in a plan coloured background. For the second idea I have it could be a solo artist with a plain one colour background in a cohesive outfit, a weakness from this idea is that it could make the magazine less eye-catching compared to the other magazines, but a strength from the plain design is that it will look more modern on the shelf of a supermarket compared to all the other magazine covers we see. The third idea I have For my magazine cover is of the girl group in plain outfits that match with a vibrant background, although this design could look similar to many other music magazines these days. But an advantage of this magazine idea is that it may attract a younger audience.
- For genre based ideas the first idea I have is for the magazine to be a r&b based magazine, and I will call it East Music r&b edition. This name fits the magazine as it's straight to the point and it can attract the r&b fans as the name tells the fans what film genre it is straight away, so this will be the name I choose for my magazine. For a second idea I think the magazine can be called E.L.Music and it can be hip-pop genre based. Or for a third idea it can be a rap based magazine called East only.
- Possible venue based ideas I have are the O2. The O2 has had many great performances held there like the spice girls, D-Block Europe and Kendrick Lamar these are from a wide range of music genres for both stadiums. The second venue idea I have is the Tottenham stadium as performance are sometimes held there. In the Tottenham stadium Lady Gaga And Guns And roses has performed. And for a third I think the East London cabaret theatre would be a good venue. Out of all the venues I would say that the O2 arena, this is because I think the artist that have performed the For more with the genre and style I angling for with my magazine cover.
3. Key ideas for the magazine:
- My key ideas for the magazine cover is to have it as an r&b magazine. I want the name to be East Music r&b edition, and it will be written in a bold modern font. But I want the people to be in front of the title almost like their popping out the cover. For the double page there will be multiple pictures of them together and single photos of each member. One of page of the spread sheet will feature questions from the East London community, that the band will answer.
4. Create a mood board to support my idea.
This mood board features ideas for poses that can be done for the photos on the magazine. Some pictures are inspiration for locations in East London that the pictures can be taken that fits the genre. And possible fonts that can be used on the magazine cover.
5. A variety of magazine front covers and what genre they are?
These magazine covers are from all different music genres. Some of these are rock, hip-pop and rap. These magazine covers are mainly of only one artist, and these artist are in the middle and come across as the most important thing on the cover.
This front cover features a big main image of music artist Nicki Minaj, she is seen in front of the masthead this suggest that's she is bigger than the magazine company. Her hair colour matches with the masthead and most main covelline.
6. what music genre have I chosen and why?
- The music genre I've chosen is r&b. This is because r&b is a popular genre in East London that most people really enjoy, especially in East London.
7. strengths and weaknesses for my music genre
Strengths:
- the music genre has such a big target audience, that would like the product.
Weakness:
- The music genre I've chosen may be harder to represent than other genres through photos.

9. strength and weaknesses for my ideas
Strengths:
- There's more than one focus on my magazine cover because there's more than one person.
- I have more I can write on in the double page and its fan interaction which is good for the group.
Weaknesses :
- It takes a lot more planning as I need to have the all the outfits planned for the three people and poses for each of them.
- it could take a lot of time to finish taking these photos of all the band members.
