LIIAR interpretation of the brief.

L-anguage:
For my magazine I think I'll use a medium shot for the artist/s that I choose. I think this is best for my magazine, and if you deconstruct most music magazine texts, medium shots are the most popular for displaying the acts.
Music magazines such as NME use the convention of using the text of the artist as the background as the full front cover, with the banner headline or their logo overlapping the age, on the left-hand side as we read from right to left.  Here is an example of the NME magazine, with the codes and conventions I have mentioned.



I haven't really decided on but my colour scheme yet, butI think that I first need to find a music genre I'm happy with.

I-nstitution: 
I think I should target an audience that isn't really considered in the market, although most age groups that I believe would theoretically enjoy my magazine are those that most music magazines already aim for.
These groups of people would be either teenagers with the disposable income that a magazine needs to succeed or young people in first time jobs that still enjoy music.

I-deology:
I don't want my magazine to exclude any social groups, and I'd like to portray the music scene in a different light; perhaps shedding the sterotype of people who actually read music magazines and maybe attracting a new audience.

A-udience:
I'm not sure who my audience will be yet, although I think it should be people who enjoy music and everything that goes with it.

R-epresentation:
Basically the genre of music is what my magazine shoul represent, as well as the people who read it, putting their views as well as mine across.
