Nisha Mund created a music magazine called "Flex" focused on the R&B genre for a teenage audience. She chose R&B because it remains popular with today's artists and teenagers, her target age group. The name "Flex" uses youth slang to appeal to teens. Key magazine elements like the front cover, contents page, and double-page spreads feature bold text, large central images, and consistent fonts. Articles would focus on topics of interest to teenagers. Distribution partners like Jeremy Miller and Paramore are also focused on R&B/hip-hop. Through the process, Nisha learned Photoshop skills like layering and how to better evaluate her research and work.

1. Flex magazine Nisha Mund

2. GenreThe genre which I done was R ‘n’ B as it is a very popular genre even today. Today you have a lot of artist which come out every year which are R ‘n’ B artists.Also I chose this as the target audience are teenagers which is the same age group as me so I know what they would like and not like to see on a music magazine

3. Why flex?The reason I choose the word flex is because it is the language of a teenager, it a slang word for you're doing itIt is a very popular word, which I would like my magazine to be very popular

4. Flex front coverThe boldest writing on the whole pageThe images are quite similar in the sense of the position as they are both covering majority and the position of the person on both coversStrap lines on both sides of main imageThe barcode's are both at the bottomThe pug is at the bottom of the page and are both circles

5. Flex contents pageI got the idea of writing contents like this as it is like that on my research, so I have put some aspects of my research on my magazineThere are strap lines on the same side Image is in the same sort of area on magazine as it is covering about 90% of the pageThe reason I used this magazines front cover as my research was because I like the fact that there is space for a picture as well as the strap lines and also the fact that it isn't too busy

6. Flex-double page spreadThe name of the person that the article is about as it is the main focusImages covering one side The writing is again all on one sideQuotes from the person who there is an image ofAlso there is a constant font through out the double page spread except from the name and the quote

7. The magazines above are produced by Jeremy MillerThe producers Jeremy Miller and the group Paramore would distribute my magazine as they all have the same genre as mine which is R ‘n’ B/ Hip HopProduced by a group called Paramore

8. Audience for flex!The audience of my magazine are teenagers.This is because a lot of teenagers are hooked by this type of genre.With my magazine I focused on topics would attract teenagersTeenagers would be hooked to the fact that there is a new solo artist on the block!!

9. How does it reflect the target audience?By the articles which are in the magazine such as teenage drinking and pregnancy which has the highest rate in BritainHow does it target your target audience?The genre is more for a teenage audience as alto of teenagers listen to this. Also a lot of R ‘n’ B artist are mainly teenagers

10. My progressI understand how to use Photoshop more (I am understanding that Photoshop for magazines are really good as it will help it look more realistic) I have learnt how to use its different features(e.g. layering for example if I want a title on top of an image i would need to drag the title layer above the image layer then it will allow it to be on top of the image)I have learnt to evaluate my research as well as my work(e.g. what to put I a evaluation and how to annotate each area such as audience, image language etc.)
