OUGD504 - Studio Brief 1 - Reaching out to Professionals within the Music Industry

The interview for OUGD502 - Studio Brief 2 was identified as a perfect opportunity to connect both personal and professional practice and studio practice together. In order to do this, an an email has been sent out to the head designer at 'Mixmag' with a response and now an ongoing conversation taking place. This could be a perfect opportunity to possibly get some primary source content for the publication in the form of an interview. By interviewing the working professional for PPP, I can integrate his comments into the publication and send him a copy as a way to say thank you for his time. This will not only allow me to make a contact within the design music industry, but also give me an opportunity to send the head designer of a DJ magazine my rave artwork publication. By showcasing my editorial skills to him along with my desire to work within the music industries, it could lead to a placement in their design studio.

Even though the first edition line of prints have been completed, there is plans to continue printing and selling the publication as an ongoing business. His interview comments could be integrated into the next print line of the publication.
