2. This PowerPoint will show the different
types of music genres which will help me
find the right music that I will make. I
looked into different music genres to see
different takes on the way they used colour
schemes and images throughout their
magazine. Overtime this will help me chose
what magazine to design.

3. R&B

4.  When looking at different r&b magazines I found
that most of them used very dark colours with
bright mastheads. XXL uses very bright colours but
they vary between the issues. The magazine VIBE
has a masthead which stands out from the
background and the main image covers the end ‘’L’’
of the masthead. The target audience of most r&b
magazines are late teenagers and early adults, this
is because of the language used in the magazine
and the artist that are used in the magazine will
only be related to the late teens as they would listen
to them on the internet and the radio.

5. POP

6.  When looking at different types of pop magazines they use
bright colours as they want the magazines to come across
cheerful and happy as this will attract their target audience
which is young female teenagers. The most popular colours are
pink, white and black which supports the target audience of
young teenage girls.

7. HIP HOP/RAP

8.  When I was looking at different types of hip hop magazines
they all generally use dark colours as this can be linked to the
origin of Hip Hop, this can be seen in the late 1970s with Run
DMC. This is why most hip hop magazines use dark colours
such as black, red and grey. The main target audience for a
hip hop / rap magazine is 16-21 as most of the songs content
explicit words which a younger audience will be unable to
listen to.

9. CLASSICAL

10.  When I was looking at different types of
Classical magazines they are generally aimed
at the older generation as many teenagers
listen to rap or pop. The colour scheme is
mostly dark red, black and white which has a
vintage feel to it.
CLASSICAL SUMMARY

11.  The magazine genre which I
have chosen to make is Rap as I
find it easier to relate to. The
reason is that I have grown up
with rap artist playing in the
background, this gives me an
advantage as I am the target
audience. I will stick to the
colour scheme of rap magazine
of bright colours as I want to
appeal to my target audience.
