2. Genre
The genre of music I have decided to focus on for my
magazine is rap as its very popular and I have listened
to rap songs and I hope that can give me an advantage
when constructing the magazine
One idea I have thought of making my magazine is
about an underdog that no has heard of yet rises to
success I like this idea as everyone loves the underdog,
What I will talk about in my magazine is who they are,
what they do, when did they begin their journey into rap.
I would the person on the main cover to be a secret and
only be reveled in the feature page I will be doing this
because it could make people buy my product therefore
be successful
3. Target Audience
The target audience I have chosen to aim my
product at is teenagers mostly 12-24 year olds. I
think this is a good age group to target because
it’s the present and future generation. By having
this wide age group it makes my magazine
appealing to everyone.
However a downside of having a wide age group I
could get lost and end up having a product that
e.g. youth don’t want to read because its too
sophisticated and not “cool” therefore I'm going to
be really careful when designing the magazine
4. Representation
I would like my magazine to have news about
other rap artists to keep people informed
I would like my feature person to be unknown
He would be hiding his face, to create
suspense so people would want to know who
he is.
5. Methods to research
Mood Boards
Produce a questionnaire and give it out
Create flat plans
Analyze real life examples of magazines
6. Distribution
I want this magazine to be distributed in shops also I want it
to be sold online digitally.
I think posting the magazine online would be very wise as this
will let people that are unable to go to shops to buy it a
chance to read my wonderful magazine.
The magazine will have a subscription option where you can
pay just 5 pounds a month for a weekly issue. This would be
sensible as it would entice people to buy it using the
subscription method as they wouldn’t have to worry about
making payments every time this could make people turn
away from buying the magazine.
To buy an issue of my magazine it would cost £2. this is a
good price as its still cheap and not too expensive and
hopefully entice people to buy my magazine
