Project task:  For my AS level coursework I have the task of creating a music magazine using a DTP to create a front cover, a contents page and a double spread. I have to include text and images that show and talk about the genre of music my magazine is looking at, the artist and their music as well as other music news.

Genre: The genre of music I will be looking at is indie/mod music and will be looking at bands such as The Who, Oasis, The Smiths, Stone Roses etc. I will be looking at British based bands and how their image, style and sound and how this influences their fans choice of how they dress, hairstyle etc.Due to the indie/mod genre, I will use the British flag colours of red, blue and white and use this so fans of the music genre will see this and be drawn to it, as well as using existing logos that people recognize around the world such as the lemon used by the stone roses as symbol that people will know. Festivals’ like Hyde Park appeal to fans of this genre by having acts such as The Who and the Stone Roses allow fans from their generation, as well as younger fans to see bands who are now older and tour less so people cans till go and watch the type of music they like. These festivals also allow people to see new upcoming bands who are trying to keep the genre of music going, bands such as The Enemy and The Courteeners who are less known world wide due to music taste changing and more pop etc being in the charts, tour and grow by playing a big festival and gather a bigger following of fans.
