1. Proposal
My magazine will include different types of music genre, these being genres such as indie, hip-hop, urban, R&B etc. I will include an opening page, contents page and double page
spread. On the opening page I will include sell lines and have a female model looking directly into the camera with a straight/serious face, similar to Vibe magazines. I will include
a big masthead saying ‘Vibe’, a barcode, price, website and issue number. On the contents page I will include an image of the same female model but rather than focusing just on
the face I will photograph more of the body and the model will not directly be facing the camera, this will be the background of the page, I also will include columns about
features and fashion, and the date. The colour scheme will similar to the front cover.
My target audience will be teenage girls, age range being 16-19. This is because the models included in my magazine will be feminine, however the magazine itself will not be
overly girly, more edgy/indie/hip-hop. The class I will be aiming my magazine towards is the ABC1. This is because I aim to target my audience to people with disposable income,
allowing them to happily purchase my magazine. The lower class may not be interested in purchasing magazines as they have other priorities. I will include other subtitles about
apps and subscribing, with a brief description underneath all subtitles. The contents page will include page numbers and information as to what each page is about. My target
audience is also mainstreamers/conformists as a lot of people listen to these different types of genre.
The pictures I have chosen on my mood board will help me decide on the overall theme and look of my magazine. These pictures will inspire me to think of ways I can interest my
target audience more. My mood board includes images of current artists that are relevant to my magazine genre. There are also pictures of things such as houses and concerts
which are further relevant to my magazine. The other images on my mood board all relate in general to the genre.
The publishing house I will use is Bauer Media. I will publish my magazine monthly and have an average of 4 pages. The audience will benefit from reading my magazine as it will
update them on current artists.
Representation
 The artist (cover model) in will be looking directly at the camera with a serious face rather than smiling etc. The cover model will appeal to the younger generation as the
artist will be very current and modern, relevant to the teens themselves. The body language and attitude of the model will be casual, mysterious and laid back. Any subtle
jewellery worn will suggest wealth and is also attractive to the target audience as it is likely to be something they aspire to have themselves. This is significant and relevant
to the audience and the magazine as a music magazine. The artist will wear more casual clothing rather than anything extraordinary suggesting that the artist is similar to her
fans despite fame and wealth. In all vibe magazines artists are more casual and serious, this will be a theme present in my magazine also.
