Creating Media: Idea Generation

Creating your Magazine: Idea Generation

Task: Create a mind-map of ideas in which you come up with ideas for the following:

Masthead: What is the name of your entertainment music magazine?

  • Beetz
  • Pop star 
  • Symphony
Coverlines: What articles are you going to entice readers with on your front cover?
  • Interview with person on front cover: journey to fame
  • Artist trends that you should follow
  • Music Festivals to attend this summer
  • Competition to win guitars and concert tickets
  • Ed Sheeran reveals what really happened behind closed doors with his tour manager
Image: Come up with ideas for the main image on your front cover
  • Person who interview is about in the page spread, holding a musical instrument (eg: guitar, ukulele) wearing a fashionable outfit at the time the photo was took with a serious look on their face.
Price: How much do you think is an appropriate price to pay to maximise profit but also ensure teenagers can afford your magazine?
  • £2.00
Representation: What ideas or ideologies do you wish to promote? feminism? positive representation of teenagers? No stereotypes etc. 
  • Music is a way to express yourself 
  • It's never too late to learn to play an instrument (competition) 
  • Positive representation of teenagers (how the main image went from being a normal school girl to a world star through her love of music- inspiration to others to follow their dreams). 
Any other ideas you wish to include?
  • Use of the colours red, black, white and blue. 
  • Put bar-code and issue number in the bottom right hand corner (not important but has to be on the front cover to look real)
