Main Task: Introduction

My name is Reece Grant, I am an AS Student studying Media at Christ the King Sixth Form. The project is to make a music magazine cover, contents page and double page spread.
In the build up to it I will be:
analysing magazines-to help gain an insight in conventions.
targeting my audience (research)-to see what my audience wants.
profiling audience-to show who ideal reader is.
making a mood board-this will help me gather ideas and what type of theme I want.
creating mock ups-to put my ideas down.
The genre I will be focusing on is indie rap/pop rap, I chose this because I like it and it will benefit me when doing my research; this project will let me use my creative skills and vision, too as much use as possible.
