I chose to do a Korean music magazine because I'm interested in Korean music. Also in Montreal it's been impossible to find one so I figured I'll make the magazine of my dreams. Another reason for creating a music magazine for my IA project is that the reason I decided to attend Dawson College was to work in with music videos. Since I started studying at Dawson I’ve lost interest in production and my interest in music has grown enormously.

The target audience will be teenagers to i guess people in their late 20's. But it will also be for people who just want to catch up on Korean music.

I don't have a title for the magazine yet but I'm thinking about it. I’ve narrowed it down to two titles:

"Aja Aja!" A popular Korean Saying

"Hanuel Wiro" (하늘위로) A Popular lyric in Korean songs meaning "Above the sky" or "To the sky"

(에프티 아일랜드)Ft. Island

This magazine will be printed to look like a real laminated magazine. I'm not sure about the length of the magazine but I do know what I'm going to include:
Top 10 artist that changed to sounds of Korean music
An article on the cover artist
What ever happened to?
Next
Overseas Music (Japan & Chinese Music)
New Korean Drama
Who's on Hiatus
Debuting in the U.S.
New Cd's

I've decided to included a CD of the latest Korean Music. The CD will be collaboration of the artist featured in the magazine. The CD will be in a little pocket on the last page of the magazine.
