mock up of cover

Plan for Photoshoot

For my photo shoot my model will be Alice Whittaker from tear 12. She will portray an R & B artist. The props she will be using are some sunglasses. This is because in most magazines, on the cover the artist usually wears sunglasses. The clothes she will wear are casual/fashionable clothes. And because she is female she will be wearing a lot of make-up. The shots that i will be taking are; close up, medium close up and long shots. i may or may not use all of these types of shots when it comes to producing my magazine but at least now i will have an idea.  
This is a picture of 2 popular R & B artist Rihanna and Chris Brown. 

my reader profile

The target audience for my magazine is 16-25. This is because the genre is most popular to this age. My magazine will be weekly magazine, because artist are making more songs and they are hitting the charts (UK top 40) so every week there will be something new for my readers. Therefore i think that one week is enough and suitable time for my readers to buy the magazine and absorb the information before the next issue is out. With the age target audience being 16-25 i think that mature language is appropriate is okay, such as; swearing and sarcasm. Not all the songs that are in the charts today contain swearing but there are still a few songs with swearing in the lyrics. But i still feel that bad language is appropriate as the target audience are at an age where swearing will pop up rather a lot in their lives. =D

Well doen Richard. You are pretty much up to date. You must ensure your planning is complete by Monday so you can start production work from then. Keep this up!

name of my magazine

after thinking of a few ideas i have come up with a name for my magazine. i have researched into google and on the internet to find out if this name has already been used for a magazine and luckily it hasn't. 


R 'N' B Stars


hopefully my audience will like the name for my magazine, but if not then i don't people to be put off =)

USP of my product.

The unique selling point of my product is that unlike most R&B magazines mine will be a more mature magazine. The language will be unsuitable for those under 16 as it is not appropriate for children under this age, but also that those in the 30's may not like the language that is used in this magazine as they are too 'old' some would say. So its best to play safe and keep the target audience of a range between 16 to mid 20's, 29 being the highest age suitable.

Analysed journalistic style

Here i have used a double page article from Kerrang magazine featured on Hayley Williams. I have used this article because i couldn't find a double page article on the internet which is the R&B genre.

The text stands out to the reader and attracts the reader as they have used big bold writing for the important bit such as "We hated each other" and "three-track teaser". 

There aren't any pictures used in this article but they have stuck to the media conventions and used three columns on a page.

questionnaire

analysis of front cover

                    

my music magazine will be quite similar to this front cover and contents page but it will also look different. this is because my front cover will look totally different in terms of the pictures used, fonts and sizes used, stories published, colour of the background and writing etc.

my contents will look similar again also different in terms of fronts and sizes and the pictures and colours.
