Foundation portfolio- Main task

The foundation portfolio main task involves producing a front page, a contents page and a 2 page mock up of a music magazine. I will use the acronym LIIAR to talk about the key concepts of the music magazine.

Language- The language i will use will be simple, fun and entertaining and appealing to those who are interested in music magazines and the music industry.

Ideology - The purpose of my music magazine will be to inform and entertain my target audience. I will do this by setting out my articles about new and exciting music and events and when they are going to happen. Iwill also include new albums and recently released songs and information on how to download them or buy them. I will also try to promote the music genre which i have decided to base my music magazine on.

Institution- A music magazine publisher such as NME or Q.

Audience- My audience will target those who are interested in music, and who are interested in the genre which i will choose.

Representation- This all depends on the music genre the magazine has chosen to represent. For example ,Platform promotes british hip hop like sway and black twang where as NME caters for a varid range of music genres. Whereas Platform would chose to represent a band member on the front cover, NME would rather opt to put a number of bands orjust focus on one band. NME has also chosen to represent the news side of music and aftera succesfull ten years NME has earned a reputation as one of the worlds best in providing music news for the world and music fans everywhere.
