Week 2

Today, we were assigned back into our groups that we had last week. We were given the task of designing four original magazine issue covers for our group. We discussed the aspects and specifications that we are planning to include in our project. this included things such as what features it would have; content, images, themes, target audience and title. we also discussed the frequency of publication of the magazine. we spent a while choosing the genre of music that the magazine would focus on, and decided that it would be a dual-genre; 'hip-hop' and 'funky house'. seeing as it would be released twice a month, we decided that one of the issues in the month would focus on 'hip-hop' and the other 'funky house'. 

The magazine is likely to include things such as: biographies of artists, interviews, music charts, release dates, feuds within the music industry, and competitions giving readers the chance to win some FANTASTIC prizes =]. We set the retail price at £3.99 which we feel is a reasonable price compared to some of the top music magazines. After much discussion and brainstorming, we concluded that the name of the magazine would be called 'Mix It Up!'. The magazine will be targeted at 16 to 20 year-olds and will appeal to both male and female genders.
