Question 4: Who would be the audience for your music magazine?

I believe that the core buyers of our music magazine will be those that enjoy rap and urban music. Without meaning to be stereotypical, I believe that boys are more likely to buy it because there are more male rap artists than there are female. There is a no particular ethnicity that will enjoy our magazine more, because rap and urban music is enjoyed by black people, white people, asian people and every other race.

Above is a print screen of my FindYourTribe results which you will have seen previously on my blog. As you can see my result was 'Smart Urban'. This was relevant seeing as our music genre was rap/urban.

The people who we are mainly targeting in our magazine, do not dress or act in any particular way. But there is a stereotype. They where brands such as 'Nike' and 'Lacoste' or other sporty brands like that. Below are some pictures of rap artists, to give you a rough idea of what there appearance is like. 

Preliminary Task

The reason I chose this as the front cover of my preliminary task is because it is a very simple picture, but both Jenai and myself are students, which is relevant for a college magazine. 

Above is my front cover of my college magazine made especially for the preliminary task. As you can see, it does not have very much detail but that is because it was just a practice version before Jenai and myself made the actual thing. It was made on paint, as it had to be made at home and I do not have Photoshop or publisher on my laptop. That is why the quality is not brilliant.

Above, is my mock up of a contents page for my preliminary task. It was also made in paint like the actual front cover, for the same reason. The one problem with using paint for this task, is that I couldn't slightly slant the boxes. I wanted the images along the right hand side to be slightly slanted.

Mood Board

As you can see, above is my mood board. It shows the fonts used on our magazine, and the main colours. It also shows our three main images.

Mock Up Of Double Page Spread

The reason we chose this as one of the images for the double page spread is because it was one of my favourite images from the shoot. As you can see, it is a low angle shot, meaning the camera is looking up at the model, Jenai. This gives it a good effect, making her look superior and important, this might attract people to the magazine. Also in the picture she looks happy and not too serious about it, which makes it funner and more interesting. 

Above is the first mock up version of our double page spread.
