Genre Choice

The genre i have selected for my magazine is Dubstep, Dubstep is a genre of dance music which originated in south london in the 1990's,, Dubstep has grown to a very mainstream style of music in the past 3 years. I myself started listening to dubstep 6 years ago starting with artists ike Mt Eden and also Deadmau5. Dubstep does however tie in with alot of other dance music genres like house which gives me more diversity when it comes to talking about different artists and stories throughout my magazine.

Organisation of Locations

The locations i used in my photos which i took all featured music equipment in order to present a more studio based production attitude, this is why i used a studio located in liverpool city centre, dawsons the shop in Liverpool city center. I also took a picture not in Liverpool city center but round the town i live in Maghull to try and get a bit of variety in my pictures. The reasoning behind me taking pictures inside of a studio inside Liverpool consist of the fact it holds electric equipment related to music which allows me to give a more of a production based feel to my magazine. The reasoning behind me taking pictures inside of Dawson's in Liverpool is due to the fact that there is alot of musical equipment throughout the shop which allows me to take pictures with expensive DJ equipment and show more professional equipment. The reasoning behind me taking a picture outside of Liverpool in my town was to try and get a variety, but also an open shot otuside of buildings and civilization to get a nice relaxes attitude to the picture.

Organisation of actors

On my front cover, the main actor used is wearing a horse mark, this may seem stupid to most beholders but there is reasoning behind this which i will state below. As you can see above, there is a DJ Wearing a big mask resembling a mouse, this DJ is known as 'Deadmau5' (Dead mouse) and is one of the biggest names in the style of music i am working towards. I have decided to base my artist around deadmau5 as he's a very looked upto artist but also the fact i have animal masks and could make an artist around the masks which cna be related to deadmau5, which is why i created the artist L1v3h0r5. the reason there are numbers throughout my artist's name is due to the 5 in deadmau5, also, i tried to make it sort of opposite to deadmau5 which is why rather than dead, there is live, and also a different animal.

Front cover DRAFT

Here you can see my finished front cover, i made multiple changes shared by my teacher and members of the class and i feel like the finished product is attractive and fit to purpose. I based my front cover around a MIXMAG issue taking ideas from the front cover and trying to incorporate them into my magazine to make it look as professional as possible.
