Idea one. • Genre- Hip Hop/Rap

• Target Audience- Mainly Males between the age of 16-25.

• House style- Not too many bright colours, more informal language style which most people can understand, include slang words too as this is what is included in there raps.

• Features to include- a day in the life of…. (a big rap star), album reviews

Images to Include:

Idea two.

• Genre- Indie Rock• Target Audience- female and Males- 16-22 years

old. • House style- more colourful but light shades,

informal/easy to understand. More of an interesting/different layout compared to a standard/structured one.

• Features to include- best of British bands, up and coming bands/artists

• Images to include-

Peer Feedback

Idea 1-

-I could be limiting my audience

-feature ideas were good (especially a day in the life of…)

-Think the house style sounds the appropriate choice

-Not thought of as a very wide market?

Peer feedback

Idea 2-

-wide popular market, magazine would be marketable

-features would appeal to a lot of the audience

-images to include suit the genre well

Peer feedback

-doesn’t sound like a wide target audience therefore limiting the people who would buy it

-Ideas of pictures to include seem repetitive may make the magazine look repetitive too.

-Features to include would interest the target audience.

Final decision

I am going to go with the indie genre magazine as I feel like this is the best one and along with the positive feedback would be the best option to go with.
