- 2. Why I havechosen my genre The genre that I have chosen to do is RnB. I have chosen this over pop magazines because pop is mostly associated with younger (10 years or younger)girls and creating a magazine for this specific target audience is out of my comfort zone as I do not know what they will be interested in and what they like and dislike. I haven't chosen to do rock because I personally don’t like rock music and I would prefer to make something that I enjoy listening to. I am not doing classic music because I don’t know many classic artists or bands and would not know what the older audiences would enjoy to read. For these reasons, I have decided to choose RnB because it is the popular type of music out there so if I include a famous singer like Drake, my magazine would be favoured and will be bought. As this is a popular genre, I can use other magazines for ideas but try and make mine as unique as possible.
- 3. strengths and weaknesses RnB Islistened to by a wide audience A lot of existing RnB already out there so will have to make it different to them Rock Simple colour scheme Easy to make it look overpowering (don’t make ti frightening) Pop Can use bright colours to attract the younger audiences Overloading the page (too many pictures and sell lines) Classic Targets older audiences Making it look boring
- 4. Ideas for magazine names Tunes Albums Hercules Record Ihave made up this name as tunes is related to music so will be a big attention grabber. Tunes also implies that the main focus of the magazine will be on songs like new releases which is what teenagers nowadays are into. Gives the impression of old music as well as new music as records where used in the older days. Might interest older audiences to buy the magazine as well so they can catch up on their favourite bands when they were younger. Makes the magazine sound powerful which implies that it can be strong, in content, and enjoyable to read. I did have blitz on here but I decided to take it off because I thought it was wrong to have it on as I realised that was the name of the Germans attacking and bombing England so I thought it was inappropriate to have it as an option. Also related to music magazines and will make the audience think that they might get a free album if they buy the magazine.

- 6. Codes and conventionsfor mastheads Needs to be the eye catching part of the magazine, this can be done by making it big and bold to make it stand out and short as well so it can be remembered if the buyer wants to get the next issue. It needs to represent the genre of the magazine. i.e if I was to do a rock magazine, I would make the letters all jagged and sharp/pointy. Needs to be at the top of the page so that it is obvious what the magazine will be about and what the name is. Make it bright and colourful so it stands out fro amongst the rest.
- 7. How my mastheadsymbolizes genre and target audience TUNES Tunes symbolizes my target audience as it used to be slang word used for a good song or track. This word was commonly used with my target audience (old teenagers). This gives them the impression that my magazine will be better than the others and they will be interested in to what makes the magazine good and will buy it. It is short and simple so that it is rememberedand is catchy. This is so they can create word of mouth to friends and family to makes the viewer stats higher.
