LIIAR interpretation of the brief

L - Front covers of music magazines usually feature: Masthead, strapline, image of an artist, article teasers.
Contents contain: images of music artists, list of contents, letter from editor.
Double page spread: image of the artist in focus, interview, what they are doing now, where you can see them.
I need to include all of these things to make my magazine fit in with the normal conventions of music magazines. I think that for the front cover either a mid-shot or a full body shot would work. I think the mid shot would work better on the cover as the full body shot would probably work better on the double page spread. To fit in withn other conventions of magazines, my magazines logo will probably be placed in the top left hand corner (which is where most logos are placed).

I - My music magazine needs to give off a positive feel to make people want to buy it. It is a pop magazine so if I make it rocky and gothic then people are not going to want to buy it.

A - ^^ target audience above

R - My artist needs to be represented positively which is a usual theme in music magazines. An artist is not going to do an interview to be ridiculed. This means that the images and the quotes and the interview needs to be positive and not anything that would make the audience not want to read it. I want the target audience to be represented positively because people can feel patronised easily and it feels like we are trying to spoon feed the audience the information then they are not going to want to read anymore.
