The document outlines three initial ideas for a magazine: 1) A hip hop magazine targeting males aged 16-25 with features on rap stars. 2) An indie rock magazine targeting males and females aged 16-22 with features on British bands and up-and-coming artists. 3) A dance music magazine targeting males aged 18-25 interested in clubs with features on DJs, music software, and clubs. Peer feedback indicated that the indie rock magazine had the widest appeal and marketability due to its broad target audience and interesting features and images that would appeal to many readers. Therefore, the indie rock magazine idea was selected as the best option to pursue.

1. Main Task Initial Ideas
By Jaime-Leigh Harper.

2. Aims and Purpose
• To collectively get my ideas together and
enable me to compare and evaluate them.
• By doing this I am also getting an audience
opinion and preferences which will lead me to
make the best magazine I can.

3. Idea one.
• Genre- Hip Hop/Rap
• Target Audience- Mainly Males between the
age of 16-25.
• House style- Not too many bright colours,
more informal language style which most
people can understand, include slang words
too as this is what is included in there raps.
• Features to include- a day in the life of…. (a big
rap star), album reviews

4. Images to Include:

5. Idea two.
• Genre- Indie Rock
• Target Audience- female and Males- 16-22 years
old.
• House style- more colourful but light shades,
informal/easy to understand. More of an
interesting/different layout compared to a
standard/structured one.
• Features to include- best of British bands, up and
coming bands/artists
• Images to include-

6. Images to Include:

7. Idea three.
• Genre- Dance/Trance
• Target Audience- 18-25 year olds, mainly
males who enjoy music in clubs such as fabric
• House style- Electric bright bold colour
schemes similar to laser lights at raves.
• Features to include- top 10 djs/clubs, news on
eletronic music making software,
• Images to include-

9. Peer Feedback
Idea 1-
-I could be limiting my audience
-feature ideas were good (especially a day in the
life of…)
-Think the house style sounds the appropriate
choice
-Not thought of as a very wide market?

10. Peer feedback
Idea 2-
-wide popular market, magazine would be
marketable
-features would appeal to a lot of the audience
-images to include suit the genre well

11. Peer feedback
-doesn’t sound like a wide target audience
therefore limiting the people who would buy it
-Ideas of pictures to include seem repetitive may
make the magazine look repetitive too.
-Features to include would interest the target
audience.

12. Final decision
I am going to go with the indie genre magazine
as I feel like this is the best one and along with
the positive feedback would be the best option
to go with.
