- 1. Proposal 1 Working Title: CHORUS MAGAZINE Audience: My target audience for this project has an average age of 22, ranging from 15 to people in their mid- twenties. The product is aimed more towards a male audience that wants to be in touch with what’s happening in their favourite genre. As for social group,I found that it’s primarily ABC1 after looking at several magazines similar to what I want to produce.Due to the genre of the magazine it is obvious that they will enjoy variations of rock music, as well as being likely to enjoy reading about artists,films, gaming technology and politics. The typical lifestyle that can be expected is having an active social life; attending concerts,going to the cinema or even being in a band themselves. Something that the target audience will pride themselves on is their own individuality. Rationale Over the schoolyear I’ve had a few opportunities to work with Photoshop which will be greatly beneficial to the project, however in the past rotations it’s been used for very different products like animation, luckily creating magazines is something that I already have experience in from my GCSE Media course and I know that what I learnt during that time is going to be very useful to me as I can build on my past knowledge. I understand betterhow to appeal to a specific target audience and I’m able to express the connotations that are expected. Project Concept The concept behind my product is to create a rock music magazine that is entertaining and informative to its audience about current events such as festivals that are based around the genres the audience enjoys, promotions about brands that are popular amongst the readers and interviews with artists from the different genres that the readers are interested in. the double page spread is going to contain an interview with an artist delving into their current music and its influences as well as the tour, their personal life and any upcoming projects they’re working on such as collaborations and films. Having been a fan of this style of magazine myself for a few years, I’m very familiar with what kind of aesthetic is typical and will be able to create a cover that fits the connotations as I have done a similar project in the past and know what the expectations are. The research I need to conduct is based on the audience and what visual aspects they will appreciate as well as what kind of written content they would be interested in reading. This will ensure that throughout production I am sticking to the audience’s desires and can create something that is exactly what they would enjoy. Evaluation I want to be able to evaluate this work through on-going reflection on the work I have produced so far, how it is influencing the choices I'm going to make when producing the final product. Conducting frequent checks on where you are during the work is a good way of knowing what will be achievable in the time given.
