After carrying out all of my
research tasks and coming to a conclusion with my results, I have chosen to
make a chart magazine. I have chosen this genre as it in my opinion the genre
which will appeal to the most people as it is widely known and listened to, it
is also what I listen to therefore I know a lot about it which will be useful as
I already have an idea what the genre is al about and what is related to this
genre. I am also within the age range of the target audience of the magazine
therefore I already have a greater insight to what my target audience would like
to see and read about. The magazine will appeal to the audience as the artists
they like and look up to will be featured in the magazine. This will also make
them more interested in the magazine and want to read it.
I will include a front cover,
contents page and a double page spread which features popular artists that the
target audience will know and be interested in. I will also use various
conventions which will attract the target audience to the magazine. I will use
bright colours and strong images which will make th magazine stand out amongst
other competetors.
I will have a vast amount of
images throught the magazine with the artists talked about giving them positive
representations showing them as happy charicters to match their music and the
pop genre and giving the magazine connotations of happiness. I will get these
images from conserts I have been to and by taking images of my friend Kai
posing as the new artist on the music scene. The images will feature a lot of
bright colours and will generally fill the pages as this will appeal more to my
younger target audience.
My target audience will be female
teens aged 12-18 in section D-E on the audience code. And will be eople who
enjoy listening to music, going to conserts/gigs, buying the latest albums and
who are interested in this genre of music and want to know the latest news in
it.
My magazine will be origional as
all of the images will be my own plus I will write all of the articles. This
means that each article will be origional to my own magazine. I will also
include new artists which wouldn’t be featured in other magazines of this genr,
I think this would be affective and would appeal to the target audience.
My main artice will be about the
new popular artist on the music scene from America called ‘Kai’. The article
will include some background details of the artist and an interview with her
where she tells us how she feels about this new lifestyle and how her life has
changed, giving exclusive stories and details on her new breakthrough album and
hit single. I will also use a lot of images sprawled across the double page
spread which will attract my target audience by the way she is portrayed,
styled and the lighting used.
I will ensure that my magazine
looks perfessional by using the research I have done on various other music
magazines of the same genre which already exist and have been successful within
the industry and incoperting my findings into the design of my magzine. For
instance by analysing their layout of pages and types of images they have used
could help inspire me and influence how I make my pages look. This could also
influece the font styles use, colour schemes and types of shots I use to be
able to display the celebrity well to relate to their reputation and music
style when taking my images.
