1. My magazine proposal:
Title of my magazine: Soul - I chose this title for my
magazine as firstly, it was most popular from the options on my
questionnaire. Secondly, the title gives of a vibe of R&B music,
making it obvious what the genre is of the magazine from the
title.
Explanation of choice of genre
The genre for my magazine is R&B. I have chosen this genre
because it is becoming hugely popular amongst the youth,
which is included in my target audience. I have also chosen this
genre because it is quite mainstream already and new artists
continue to emerge everyday therefore ideas for the contents of
the magazine would never run out.
Target Audience Profile
Name:
Cally Reed
Age:
19
Gender:
Female
Ethnicity:
Mixed Race
Lifestyle:
Cally really enjoys listening to R&B music, along with hip-hop.
She has just recently started university and enjoys going to gigs
with her new friends who enjoy the same type of music as her.
The gigs she attends are usually of R&B or hip-hop artists, for
example she has an upcoming gig for an extremely popular
R&B and hip-hop artist, Drake coming up soon. However, Cally
is also quite interested in electronic dance music. She works
part-time, around 20 hours a week. She attends university to
study biochemistry which allows her to spend money on
purchases such as music magazines and concerts.
2. Initial ideas about front page:
Magazines such as ‘Vibe’ are what I take huge inspiration from
for my front cover, as this magazine often talks about hip-hop
music and also includes the R&B genre. Even though
‘Billboard’ is a magazine based on the charts, I take inspiration
from that brand too as the front covers are quite classy and I
aim to make my magazine covers have a similar effect.
Initial ideas about contents page:
I aim for my magazine contents page to look more like Vibe’s
contents pages as I feel they are more appropriate for a music
magazine based on the genre of R&B. Their contents are often
simple and attractive. An example is:
3. Initial ideas about double page spread:
I have planned to make my double-page spread look similar to
the style of NME’s double page spread. I’d like my spread to
have images on one side and text and information on the other
so it is clearer for the audience to read the information and view
the image. However, I’d like to combine the text and image
somehow, like the first example provided below of the DPS
based on Mark Ronson. The title is over the picture and creates
a good effect. I aim to recreate something like this:
Initial ideas about photos:
Ideas for the photos heavily depend on the gender of the model
for my front cover. I have planned for the model to be female,
therefore she will dress as female a typical female R&B, so will
have sophisticated clothing on. I have also planned for the
model to hold a prop, such as a microphone, or maybe an
instrument such as a piano or saxophone could be included, as
these represent my chosen genre of music the most.
