2. DEMOGRAPHICS
Gender - The gender for my magazine would be for both
males and females.
Age – The age would be between the age of 16 – 30.
Ethnicity – The majority of readers would come from the
afro-Caribbean ethnicity as stereotypically afro –
Caribbean people read R&B magazines.
Social Class – D/E – The social class is most likely to be E as
they are more likely to be still in education or have
temporary jobs, or they are just starting to have a career.
3. GENRE OF MUSIC MAGAZINE
Because stereotypically my music magazine genre was
R&B and my most of my audience were afro-Caribbean
they were more attracted as they have an interest in
the genre of R&B.
IMAGES USED TO ATTRACT TARGET AUDIENCE
I used my images in the way that they would be noticeable, I
made them so that they were large and caught the readers
attention. I requested that my model wear something that
was ‘Hip’ and ‘Swag’ that made them stereotypically look
like an R&B celebrity. Stereotypically R&B magazines use
close-up shots of their models to make the magazine seem
more personally and inviting.
4. IDEAS FOR MODEL
As my music magazine is a R&B one, I researched the
type of clothing that R&B artists wear. I found that
stereotypically R&B wear less clothing to symbolise
sexuality. So for my model I requested that she wear a
crop top, shorts and a checked top; however I first
asked my model if she would be comfortable wearing
the required clothing and fortunately she agreed.
5. COVER LINES & DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
I have used cover lines that are to do with R&B genre and to do
with R&B artist and also the celebrity world. I have used cover lines
that would interest my audience using stereotypical cover lines.
I used the 1st and 3rd person to personally attract the audience by
involving them by direction information towards them.
MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO ATTRACT AUDIENCE
For marketing I would use the ideas from Vibe as they are a R&B
magazine. I think I would advertise them on popular websites e.g.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.
I would also advertise the in other popular magazines to interest
other audiences. To advertise my magazine to attract my audience
I would use large billboards so that people notice the magazine.
Television can also be a useful for advertisement as many people
watch television and will notice the advert.
