Minimalism

Why do I like minimalism?

Minimalism, to me, is perhaps more interesting than something being detailed and busy. Something that is clean and uncluttered is far more appealing to look at father than an explosion of colours that came sometimes be quite offensive to look at. Below are photographs that photographer Hengki Koentjoro has taken using the theme of minimalism. 

I personally think that these images are a work of art and are extremely captivating. Whilst I don't want my magazine to turn into a work of art, I would like it to be as nice to look at as a piece of art. I also believe that something that is simplistic an evoke emotion and is easier to convey emotion - and as music is all about emotion then I think that it is a good theme or idea to place my magazine around. 

Lastly, I think that minimalism will appeal to my target audience. It will conflict with the busy, colourful daily life that is experience in westernised culture and creates a place for the audience to escape to - the aim of music.
