As I browse through what I need to do, I decided to do Music Magazine. The idea is to keep the magazine as simple as possible in order to keep the audiences or readers to have interest in it. In short, I have kept the design as simple as possible. The pictures and artists that I chose is also well-known to Malaysians since the artists I feature on the cover magazine is a local artist. However, the content itself is not all local content but a mix-match of local and international content with different genre of music and artist. Besides that, the color of the magazine are plainly black and white color to give a sense of vintage vibe to the readers, or u can say a retro touch.
