Our task was to create a music magazine cover. After generating a few ideas, my group and i decided we would create 'classique' which would be aimed at young teens who are into classical music and young teens who we are trying to lure into the classical genre.
In order to design our front covers we needed the use of cameras and photo shop meaning the cover was a cut and paste cover. Our cover consists of a masthead, banner, strapline, main cover line, main cover image, cower line, graphic, some use of mode of address, boxed text and bar code, price and issue date.
Our masthead is 'classique' which is the name of the magazine. It is in red classy fot which makes it fit for purpose as it ooks ellegant. It is in big font so it stands out from eveything else and is typical because it is justified to the left of the page. It is trademark known as it is on both magazines so we kept the style consistent.
Our banner is as follows 'Class + Kool = Classikool' this is grey ao it doesnt clash with the red writing of the masthead. It is also the magazine slogan which helops attract young people with the use of the word 'Kool' which reinforces our main idea that classical musci isn't just for old middle class people.
Our strapline is typical from any magazine and is also known as a subheading. We gave our magazine a website which was 'www.classique.com' this helps us appeal to the younger generatioon once again as we know they use the internet frequently.
Our main cover image is quite unique and strongly supports our views on classical music, its a phot of a man holding a violoin. If the man was not holding a violin he would conote the hip hop genre or maybe rap. This hsows that anyone can be classical. The way he is dressed is ver yoth ful in bold colours blak and white also hge is standing broadly with is vioolin which gives us the impresion he is confident and proud of what he does.
The young man is also wearing a chain around his klneck which you would usually associate with rappers but once again this reinforces our oppinion that classical music is for everyone.
Our main cover line reflects the image 'Addagio the street violinist' thi sis unusual as violins wouldnt be associated with the streets. The conotations that come with street are hooded youths, gun and knife culture, crimes and teh music genre would probably be rap or grime. But this statement totally ciontradicts and would make the audience think wow! street people know about violins and would probably make them change their oppinions.
The other coverlines appeal to the youth but specifically those in year 11 as it is about achieving A's in GCSE music exasm. This story was put in as we saw something similar in another classical music magazine also it would help target a certain audience.
