Coursework Brief

Brief 3:

You work for an independent media production company. You have been given the task of producing one front cover and the contents page(s) of the first two editions of a new lifestyle magazine that is being launched by Hearst and two pages for the working website for the magazine. 

Contents pages can be either single or double page spread.

The webpages must promote the new magazine to its target audience and enable fans to interact with the content.

Summary of brief requirements:

- Statement of Intent (approx. 500 words)

- Lifestyle magazine covers and contents pages: Two or three pages for each of the first two editions (based on choice of single or double page spread.)

- Magazine distribution method: Content must be suitable for retail distribution.

- Number of webpages: One homepage and one linked page.

- Cross- media production target audience: A primarily 16-25 year-old middle market aspirational audience.

There must be a clear sense of branding across the two elements of the cross-media production. 

Production detail must be included. 

The production of the magazine covers and contents pages must include:

- At least four different main images using original photography across the magazine covers and contents pages. 

- Editing of magazine covers and contents pages (including photos, text, graphics, typography and layout)

- Written text including elements such as the masthead, main cover line, selling lines, headlines, captions, subtitles and copy. 

- Barcode, date, edition and price information on each front cover. 

- A different use of mise-en-scene for each cover. 

- Representation of at least two  different social groups (e.g. as defined by age, gender, race and ethnicity, sexuality.)

- A call to action pointing readers to the online website. 

The production of the webpages must include (as a minimum):

- Original audio or audio visual content appropriate to the online website.

- A minimum of two original images (with at least one different original image on each of the two pages.). These images must be different from those produced for the magazine. 

- Appropriate conventions of website design, including an original title and logo and a menu bar.

- Text introducing the main features of the magazine.

- Working links from the homepage to the other page.

- A range of appropriate media language techniques (typography, images, fonts, backgrounds, logos etc.) as appropriate to the purpose of the website.

Planning Production

First Idea/Plan:

-Sustainability based magazine- targets 16-25 easily

Second Idea/Plan:

-Focuses on education/higher education for people 16-25 (could still branch to sustainability..)

So, I decided to combine the ideas into one. Using the title of ‘life etc’, and creating editions for both sustainability, and general lifestyle/influencer specials.
