The genre I have chose is Acoustic I have experience as when I was younger I used to play acoustic guitar so I have personal experience with the genre, this means I also have a guitar at home to bring in for my model to use in the photo shoot. My star will be Connor MacMillan, he will be wearing a shirt and jeans which is very casual which will adhere to the traditional convention of a acoustic magazine. He will be stood with a acoustic guitar which will obviously link to the genre. the photos will be taken in a studio setting to show how prestigious the magazine is. The photos will be taken on the18th of October 2016 at my sixth form, this is because my sixth form are having an open evening, in this evening they will be holding a photo shoot for us to get photos for our magazines.
My DPS will be about Connor and his come up (his rise to fame) it will display all the key points in his life that have had an effect on the way he is as a person and the effect it has had on his music. Richard Dyre said that "A star is an image, not a real person, that is constructed" The way Connor will be portrayed will be constructed by me, his back story will also be constructed by me which links to Richards Dyres representation theory. My magazine will appeal to people of the ages between 16 and 22, the magazine will have to be youthful yet refined to show the true nature of acoustic without "boring" my TA. My star is 16 years old which will appeal to the younger years as there may be things in Connors life that they can relate to.
The colours used will be very light to portray a very reputable magazine that is professional and distinguished I will use a sans serif font which will also exhibit how renowned the magazine is. The light colours will connote to god to show purity and will also link to my stars (Connor) religious beliefs. it will also link to one of Connors most popular songs "Dear God" in which he tells his fans the things he discusses with god over night.
Some of the conventions frequently used in acoustic magazines that i will follow are: Online subscription, Masthead 1/5th of the page usually in red, blue or green.
