What are you being asked to do? Write or record what you think this means

I am being asked to make a completely original music magazine for a genre of my choice. This will include making cover page, contents page and a double page spread from scratch.

What are the criteria for this (what must you do?)

I must make an original music magazine containing a front cover to attract a reader to pick it up. I must make a contents page to guide the reader through the magazine so they can find their specific interests. I must also make a double page spread; I aim to include a captivating story and lots of pictures to intrigue the reader!
I must use my own material, such as words and photographs and non taken from the internet or elsewhere.
There is a minimum of four images per candidate, so I plan on using as many as is appropriate.

What are you not allowed to do?

I am not allowed to use copyrighted or previously used material from the internet or anywhere else. This would include stories, images, or other candidates ideas. I am also not allowed to use under four images.

What do you think is going to be involved in doing this?

I think there is going to be a lot of research in finding the right genre for me to make a magazine as I need to have enough understanding of the contents of the magazine and the audience. I think there will be a lot of computer based work and editing such as Photoshop. I also think that my photography skills will be taken to the next level as I need to find appropriate photographs to include in my original magazine.
