Evaluation question 2
The media product represents teenagers and young adults who listen to R&B music. It features the author and a friend, Mason Martley, on the cover and first page. While some see R&B listeners as "chavs", the author's research found R&B appeals to a wider audience. The featured artist wears a hoodie, aligned with stereotypes of "chavs". The magazine's style aims to appear intimidating like other R&B magazines, with a brick wall background photo and serious model expressions.
Task 13 2
The target audience of the magazine "Moshpit" is males aged 16-25 who enjoy listening to music, spending time with friends outdoors, and attending music festivals and concerts. The magazine will have a dark color scheme, sans-serif fonts, and informal writing to appeal to this niche audience. It will include CD and concert reviews, features on new bands, and offer a free CD to readers to engage their interests in discovering new music. Maintaining the same visual design elements across issues will help build the magazine's brand identity.
Research magazine
Bauer Media owns Q magazine and other music magazines but only produces two indie magazines, not RnB magazines. The document discusses researching institutions that distribute similar music magazines to see if an RnB magazine could attract a new audience.

Looking at real music magazines in various genres helped inform the creation of the student's own metal music magazine. Key conventions were followed, such as using fonts that fit the metal genre, incorporating appropriate colors of red, black and orange, and placing the most important news in the primary optical area. Photographs featured bands in a dark, sinister style to suit the metal genre. The language used journalistic techniques seen in magazines like Kerrang!, such as a kicker and pull quotes, to interview subjects. Overall, examining real media products provided knowledge of conventions that ensured the student's magazine accurately reflected the expectations of the genre.
Task 8 - focus group
Jack is a 17-year-old A-level student who writes songs in his spare time. He enjoys hip-hop artists like Biggie Smalls and Run DMC and appreciates rap music's poetic storytelling. He usually buys NME and Vibe magazines and likes that they feature a wide range of artists and each issue is different. Grace is an 18-year-old A-level dancing student who enjoys artists like Beyonce that encourage movement. She reads Q magazine for its sophistication and likes learning about artists through interviews. Ibrahim is a 16-year-old studying film who appreciates Kanye West's complex beats combining instruments with an electro feel; however, he does not currently buy
Focus group interview 3
The focus group discussed their perceptions of the R&B genre. They associated it with fresh, hip hop music and artists like Beyonce and Kanye West. They thought the artists would have unique styles characterized by tight jeans and baggy jumpers. Common colors associated with R&B were reds, blacks, and whites. The group was familiar with Billboard magazine but felt it was too similar to a pop magazine. They expected the cover of an R&B magazine to feature a close-up photo of an artist dressed up and the magazine contents to include celebrity gossip, fashion, concerts, and new music releases.
Publication plan
The document summarizes a proposed monthly music magazine that would be priced at £1.50 and distributed through various retail outlets including newsagents, supermarkets, book stores, and music stores. The magazine would target music fans by offering an informal style with reviews, comments on events, polls, music news, concert information, album releases, and interviews to give readers insider access to artists from the fan's perspective. Regular sections would include an editor's letter, polls, news, concert listings, new releases, top artist charts, and feature articles while occasional spreads would spotlight the cover artist or include interviews and reviews.
Focus group interview 1
In a focus group about an R&B music magazine, participants associated the genre with old school music and artists like Beyonce and Eminem. They thought the magazine would have a classy, retro style with deep colors and white. Participants were familiar with and liked the similar magazine Billboard. They expected the magazine cover to feature a close-up photo of an artist against a plain background and articles on the latest celebrity fashion, concerts, and gossip stories.

Evaluation Q1
This document discusses how a student media product both uses conventions of real magazines as well as challenges some conventions. Specifically:
- The layout, sizing, cover lines, and use of images and color on the cover all follow conventions seen in real magazines.
- However, the unusual masthead name of "CONK" and punk-inspired color scheme provide some unconventional elements that challenge expectations.
- While content and organization on the inside pages align with typical magazine forms, the lack of clear music branding on the cover challenges assumptions about the magazine's topic.
Overall, the media product both borrows from real magazine conventions in its construction but also introduces some non-traditional elements that push the boundaries
Task 5
The document discusses design elements for a new music magazine, including presenting the top charts similarly to Billboard magazine with the number 1 single and album highlighted. The magazine will have a limited color palette, fewer images than Smash Hits, and focus on up-to-date artist and music news and releases. Possible name ideas are discussed such as Current Music Now and New Music Express.
Magazine profile - Who Is My Audience?
I had to make a Magazine Profile explaining my media product and what it is. I had to explain why I chose certain things to be in my magazine and why I chose my masthead.
Media pitch practice
Rio Rosenberg is pitching an acoustic music magazine called Unplugged to be distributed in North London. The magazine will feature interviews, reviews of venues and upcoming concerts, and articles on trends in acoustic pop music. It will be published monthly in both print and digital formats, costing £4 per issue or £50 for an annual subscription. The target audience is people aged 16-20 and it will be distributed through online subscriptions, local newsagents, and posters at schools and universities to promote the magazine.
First powerpoint
This document provides an overview for a proposed indie music magazine called Reverb. The magazine will be published biweekly in both print and digital formats. It will promote up upcoming indie artists and educate readers about the indie genre through articles, photos, and Spotify playlists accessible via QR codes printed in the magazine. The target audiences are 15-19 year old female and 19-25 year old male and female indie music fans in London. Resources needed to produce the initial issues include design software, cameras, a laptop and modeling will be done by the creator. Distribution and marketing plans include selling in music and clothing stores, advertising at concerts and on social media platforms. Article topics will feature new albums, competitions, interviews and recommendations about the indie style
Ash question 1
The student created a music magazine that drew upon conventions of real magazines. The magazine used a three-color scheme of black, red, and white for the cover and contents page, and featured a large, bold masthead relating to the R&B/hip-hop genre. While most magazines include multiple pictures on contents pages, the student only included one main image to make it less cluttered, following conventions of R&B and hip-hop magazines specifically. For the double-page spread, the student again followed R&B/hip-hop magazine conventions by placing the main image on one page and the article on the other, rather than writing on both pages as typical magazines do.
Primary research
This document summarizes primary research conducted about a music magazine genre. Participants provided feedback on various design elements of the magazine, including the font, color scheme, imagery, and layout. For the font, one participant felt it suited the genre while another thought a stronger font was needed. The color scheme was found to suit the genre but could be improved. Location of shots and use of more alternative imagery was also discussed. In the end, the research provided insights that will help strengthen the magazine design.

An individual seeks to understand perceptions of indie pop music. They imagine indie pop music videos featuring distinctly voiced artists displaying traits of individuality and festival-like performances conforming somewhat to popular conventions. The target audience for indie pop is seen as 16-25 year olds who are maturing and finding themselves. Live music, especially at festivals, is enjoyed, as is discovering new individual artists rather than solely listening to signed bands from major labels. A connection can be made with bands whose lyrics provide inspiration.
Questionnaire for style (e.t.c)
The document is a short questionnaire asking about font and genre preferences, fair pricing, including prizes and competitions in a section, connecting on social media, and text style preferences of plain or mixed colors.

Mood board
- 1. Mood board The codes and conventions I will be using in my magazine. These are all the codes and conventions I expect from a hip-hop magazine. I have included 2 very big artists because these are the U.S.P for any magazine not just for a hip hop and rock magazine. All the other pictures are relevant to the genre.
