*I've break down all the question into different category so that the interviewee would have a better and clearer understanding towards it.

List out some of the potential topic - for magazine design. Rhythm Flow means understanding the pattern of music of how it goes ....flow 🎶. Diverge means be unique and stand out from others. Polyphonic means a sound where there's more than one music tone - hight and low. It is quite similar to Pitch, frequency of music. Face the Music means determine your future - the dreams is yours.

Few sketches with different layout design.

Sketch 1 - Text arrange in a form of tone / pitch up and down which relate to the word polyphonic. The hightlighted word view as a form of piano keys. The reason of this layout is to go offset and not in a proper order, 'Piano high and low tone".

Sketch 2 - The treble clef with text view as a form of piano keys and note. Hence it also have like a rhythm flow to it. The word DIVERGE means branch off / be different from others.

Sketch 3 - The picture with the words Passion and Pianist are the main subject of the context. Text arrange in the form of piano keys. The overall layout are arrange in a more organised order.

Sketch 4 - Title overlay on treble clef. Some idea are quite similar from the previous design.
