Target audience
Same throughout, bold colours. Bright/dark
colours can be interpreted as anger or a
certain attitude. For example, if I was to use
red, I would use it consistently throughout
and also make sure it stands out.
Close ups with
different angles.
For example, on
the front cover
there will be a
main image and
there will also be
different images
used throughout
for variation. This
will connote the
presence of the
artist.
Weekly magazine. However this
magazine will have a good
variety of content throughout
and each issue will be much
different.
15-35 year olds. This is because the
magazine will be a weekly issue but
it will be affordable. This is
important because if the magazine
is not affordable then especially
teenagers may not be interested.
Star appeal and big artist. Furthermore,
there will also be a good variation of artist
in order to appeal to everyone. The
magazine will also contain its logo on each
page

12. Colour scheme/House Style
Firstly, the colour scheme for this magazine is red and white.
This is because these two colours complement each other
and also due to the meaning behind the colour red.
Furthermore the colour red connotes a feeling of energy
within this magazine and is also emotionally intense. This is
important as the function of this magazine is to update the
reader on current hip hop music and to help them develop a
passion for this type of music.

14. Inspiration slideMasthead
As you can see the
mast head has large
font and is bright in
colour. This is good
as it appeals to the
customers.
Main image
The main image on
this is also quite large.
This is good as the
magazine now has
star appeal which is
good for fans of
particular artists.
Furthermore the font
on the front cover is
also important as it is
easy to read and
therefore may stand
out even more.
Main headline
Another aspect I
based my magazine
off of is the main
headline. I though this
is good as it stands
out well. This is
important as my
magazine wouldn't’t
of been seen before
and is therefore
important that it
attracts the customers
attention.

18. Font style
PixelCaps!
My magazine font styles are inspired by XXL. This is because they are both quite
simple whilst also being big and bold. This is good because they will stand out
on the shelves and therefore customers may be drawn towards them.
Furthermore, this is also good as they are new magazines and may therefore
attract a lot of attention

22. Target audience
Hartley
I think the age range of my magazine would be between 15-40 years of age. This is because many teenagers start
getting into music at this age and it may be to pursue their dream. Furthermore, there are also many rappers who
are around or below the age of 40. therefore, I think that this is a suitable age range and that the majority of
people buying this magazine will be between this.
Maslow
I don’t think there is a particular class within this magazine however it may suit people who prefer the hip hop
genre. Furthermore this magazine will also be cheep and therefore everyone can afford it.
Katz’
I think my magazine would be to inform and educate the readers. This is because it will contain information about
the artists which is why they will be on the front cover. Also, my magazine will also contain information about the
upcoming tours of the artists and perhaps an interview to provide more personal information.
Socio-economic needs
I think my magazine will appeal to mostly students as they are the age group that most would
associate with being passionate about music. In terms of the socio-economic graph, I think that the
audience I am targeting would mostly fit into the E and D bracket. This is because there will be many
students who are interested in music and also buying my magazine.

25. Connotations behind the name.
• The connotations behind the name Tune firstly
represent the fact that within this magazine
you can find high quality music. Furthermore,
it also connotes that the magazine will be
music related considering it is called ‘TUNE’.

26. “Repeat” - Steve Neale(1980)
Tune/Rap Weekly
With my magazines I will firstly be
repeating t it is easily recognisable.
The logo on every page on the
magazine. This is important as it will
be a new magazine and therefore it
will be important for people to
recognise it. Secondly, there will be
various images on the front cover and
other pages. however., on the front
cover there will be a main stand out
image. This is good as it will have star
appeal and therefore could influence
customers to buy these magazines.
And I will finally make sure that the
logos of my magazines stand out. This
is important because they will
therefore be easy to see in stores and
it is also significant that it is easily
recognisable.
XXL
Firstly, XXL magazine have a a logo
which stands out. This is because
it has a bright red colour and bold
writing. This is good as it will stand
out to customers on the shelves of
stores. Furthermore this logo is
evident on every page of their
magazine which is important as
the customers will therefore
recognise who XXL are. Within the
magazine also contains double
page spreads and lots of images.
This is important because it gives
the readers an understanding of
who stars on the current issue of
the magazine and perhaps the
smaller articles within.

37. House style/Colour scheme
• The connotations of the my second magazine,
RW would be that it is a colour associated
with energy and freshness, therefore bringing
something different to the standard rap
magazine. This colour scheme also connotes
the ambition of this magazine to succeed and
become a well known name within the hip
hop/rap industry.
