1. Question 3
What kind of media institution might
distribute your media product and
why?
2. Similarities- Front Cover
The layout and image I chose for my magazine was inspired by the magazine ‘PYNK’ this magazine is also
a R’n’B/Hip- Hop magazine but is aimed at females that’s why the magazine is so pink and bright and girly.
This magazine is similar to mine because they are both aimed at the same age group that like this specific
music genre, the only difference is the magazine which I have created is aimed at both males and females
whereas the other magazine is aimed at females. I chose to aim my magazine and both genders because
my research tells me that there is a space in the market for this type of magazine.
The similarities between the magazine are not very obvious similarities but they are their because this was
the magazine that inspired me to do my magazine this way but make it look more urban with the darker
colours.
The similarities between these to magazines
are:
• Both pictures are focussing on the face
• The text layout is similar majority of it is on
the left hand side
• The magazine name s are both at the top
3. Similarities- Contents
The layout and image I chose for my magazine was inspired by the magazine ‘Kerrang’ although this
magazine genre is not the same as there genre which I chose, I thought the way it was set out was
different and attractive because the font was in the centre which makes you drawn to it straight away. I
liked how the pictures where at the top because it means as soon as you turn the page you see images of
what will be included inside of the magazine.
What I realised from looking at a variety of contents pages is that the contents pages were not very bright
like the front covers were therefore I chose to use subtle colours such as greys and whites and black and
then use Blue and Red font so it stood out so people were able to know what the page is.
The similarities between these to magazines
are:
• They have the images along the top
• Text in the middle of the page letting you
know what the page is about
• Contents at the bottom of the page saying
what is inside of the magazine.
4. Similarities- Front Cover
The similarities between these to magazines
are:
• Both have 3 images
• Blow up text used
• Not many colours used, colours don’t clash
but compliment each other
• Colours match the images
I got my layout of the double page spread
from a magazine called ‘flavour’ how I chose
to do my layout similar is that I realised their
was only 3 pictures of the artist so I decided
to do the same also one of the pictures was
a longshot whilst the other two pictures were
taken mid-shots so I decided to do the
pictures for my magazine similarly because
‘flavour’ is the same genre as my magazine
so they know what the audience for R’n’B
magazine like so I decided to have a similar
layout.
