AS Media Studies: Coursework Brief

As part of my AS Media Studies coursework I have been asked to create the front cover, contents page and double page spread of a music magazine. All photography and writing must be original and all of my own work, the reason I have created this blog is to record all of my planning.
To get inspiration, I have looked at other music magazines such as NME, Q and MOJO as they include the sort of genre that I am interested in. I am going to focus on rock & roll/alternative music and also music from the Mod era, this would include bands such as; The Who, The Rolling Stones, Northern Soul, The Strypes, The Stone Roses, The Jam, Beady Eye and Miles Kane. Ive chosen this genre because I personally love it and would enjoy creating a magazine focused completely on my favourite bands.
