12/02/15 - CHARACTER PROJ. (Goal for Project)

For this project, after talking with one of my tutors, I have decided that I want to define who I am as a person and personify it in a made up character. The reason this has come about is due to the fact that I want to use this project as a feeder into my final major project (FMP) and because I am thinking of creating a magazine, I originally wanted to personify my target audience. Thinking about my target audience, I realised that the sort of person that would like my magazine would be somewhat similar to me and like my way of working and the style of work I produce. My tutor mentioned that whenever he saw my work he'd instantly know it was mine but could never come up with a description for it other than "it's very Carrie". Because of this, I am looking to create a character that is inspired solely by who I am, what I love and what makes me, me.

Rem Magazine will aim to represent youth culture without being raucous. Each issue of Rem would focus on a problem faced by a reader to deliver a series of features that are not only piquant but relevant and relatable. Submissions would be taken and then explored through editorials and art features making the magazine easily consumable by everyone. Focuses for issues can be submitted by anyone as long as it references teenage-hood and youth and the magazine itself will somewhat quiet to coincide with my personal style and preference of publications (similar to the style of Bricks, Dogme and Grit).
