Harris publications would be most likely to publish the magazine due to similar models and layouts, such as both using a "contents" page called an "A-side". Both magazines also use similar props like jewelry to express wealth and coolness. The prices would likely be similar to avoid bankruptcy and turn a profit. The magazine would be sold in America, UK, corner shops, and supermarkets, as well as ordered online or through a subscription. It would be advertised on hip hop/rap TV shows and websites to reach fans.
1. Due to the way I made my model use body language and facial expressions, my magazine would be most likely to be
published by Harris publications due to the way our models are similar such as the Nas front cover magazine. Harris
publications have used the layout as I have such as the contents with the ‘A-side’ which what I also called my contents
page. The use of our props are similar such as the jewellery being used to make to express their riches as well as to make
them seem cool. Our prices are similar probably to keep our magazine out of bankruptcy and make a profit.
2. • My magazine will be sold in both America and the UK due to these countries having both hip-hop/rap fan
bases. They will be sold in the corner shops, your can order the next issues or buy the issues from our
website, they would be sold in WHS smith, and supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsbury. The next issues
will have small teases posted on social networks such as Instagram or twitter so the fans could be more
interested and feel that they need to get it. We would be advertising the magazine on both American and
British channel based hip-hop/rap TV shows such as MTV, Channel AKA, SB TV, Rap City, Vevo and Complex
website so our fans can easily get the information off these issues. Subscriptions will be available so if
anyone who wants to continue in buying the issue can just subscribe so they won’t miss out and it would
just be posted to their house.
Distribution
3. Publication
• My magazine will be released once a month so my audience wouldn’t have to be paying every week plus we would have
more information on rappers if we release it once a month plus xxl release their magazine 6 times per year which is why
they have a huge amount of information on rappers and albums.
4. Sales
• Our magazine will have special editions which is what XXL does, this easily gathers more fans and increase sails due to
having information that has not been revealed yet. XXL has become increasingly famous for being a magazine which is
great for our magazine due to it being able to become easily popular plus we will have apps on both iPhone and android
mobiles where the user can buy the magazine and be able to read it digitally on their phone.
