DTP :- Introduction to Ideas.

For the Media Coursework I have chosen to do the DTP task and create a Music magazine.

I chose to do the DTP over the film because I enjoy designing and using my own ideas to produce my own original and personalized work in this case; working in a group and filming would not allow me to add as much personalized input and ideas into the final output.

Before starting my research I chose to narrow down my choices as of which magazines to research down to Pop/Punk/Rock. This genre of music are covered by many magazines including specialized magazines which only cover Rock and Pop Punk to large mainstream magazines such as Kerrang and NME. I chose to use Pop Punk as my genre because it is a music genre i am familiar with and entertains/inspires me.

Before beginning the design of my front cover , contents and double page spread I will need to check the codes and conventions used to create each page  so that my final output looks professional.
