In todays lesson we started our planning for our music magazine. I finished both the codes and conventions and iconography. The codes and conventions include what you would usually see on a ordinary music magazine, this is helpful because it gives a good idea of what needs to be included on it. I did these for all the front cover, contents and double page spread. For the iconography planning, I decided to base my magazine on RnB music. I got a list of Rnb artists and festivals that they make appearances at. I also did a page on outfits, for this I used the well - known RnB artist Rihanna and got a variety of images where she was wearing different styles and items of clothing. This will help me in my future photoshoot for my magazine, so I know what kind of style and clothes I want my models to wear. Next lesson I will start to create a survey so that I can find out what people would like to see in my magazine.

In today's lesson we started to analyse music magazines. We will be analysing 3 front covers, 3 contents pages and 3 double page spreads. I chose 3 magazines that were completely different genres of musics and included different artists so that there would be a lot to say about each one. As I finished the front covers for homework, I focused on analysing my contents pages in detail. To do this you must comment on the masthead, the main image, the sell lines and how all of these help to sell the magazine. You must also comment on the target audience and social grades as these are all important codes and conventions of a music magazine. next lesson I will focus on analysing the 3 double page spreads.
