Introduction

For my AS coursework project, I need to produce a front page, contents and double-page spread of a made up music magazine. There are many things that I will need to research in order to be able to effectively plan my own magazine and in order to do this I will research other magazines, analyse codes and conventions and discuss representations and how target audiences are reached and addressed.

 

When I start thinking about my own magazine, I will need to plan vigorously so that I include codes and conventions. The five main aspects I will think about when creating my final product are: genre, language, audience, representation and narrative - 'GLARN' (this is also the method I will use when textually analysing pre-existing media).
