Introduction to brief

Task 1: Introduction to brief

The magazine I have chosen to create is a magazine that is aimed at a younger audience, but is a regional magazine on lifestyle and surfing. I want to produce a magazine that features topics and information that is catered for a young audience. The topics I wish to include are:

·      Surfing

·      Vintage clothing stores

·      Tattoo conventions

·      Lifestyle such as: food, drink and different locations.

I want to ensure that my magazine has a design to it that provides a simple but vintage look, which is what a younger audience that likes these topics, would be particularly interested in.

I am also going to produce a website that caters to my audience, I am going to include surfing photos and possibly videos, tattoo videos and complete coverage of a tattoo convention. The website will be uniquely designed, that my young audience will enjoy and want. I am also going to include shoots of vintage barbers and clothing shops, also food possibly, which will cater for the type of media I want to create for my audience. Finally, I am also going to create a billboard. It is most likely that the billboard I am going to create will have a surf theme to it, I need to get some really good high quality shots, and analyse which one is best for the billboard.
Overall I want to create three high quality products, that fit the conventions of a regional magazine, website and billboard. However it has been more adapted to my choice of topics which are listed above, the three products will have a distinctive high quality design, look and feel to them. I would overall like to have a unique set of products which caters for my target audience.
