Media Proposal

My magazine will be targeted at a wide range audience as it will concentrate on mainstream music. This could range from pop to rock. A magazine which uses the same idea is the rolling stone magazine. I will show examples of the Rolling Stone magazine and show how I could then base my magazine using similar ideas to improve my own ideas.

This front cover features a close up main image with direct eye contact, the colour scheme contrasts with pink and the colour of her jacket. The black background fits in with the fact that the artist is in the rock genre and it all fits together. I like the fact that the image has attitude and action.

This front cover features a body shot of a different artist who is in a different genre of music, pop. The image has lots of action in it and is very sexual but it maintains the audience. The masthead is not shown often in both magazines.

On this slide I am going to be researching into different mainstream artists that I may like to include in my magazine to attract a particular audience, the point of it being mainstream focuses on the fact that it contains many different types of genres of music and different artists.

Mainstream music is music that is in trend and is popular within the modern society regardless of the genre of music. This could be from music icons to just new big artists that have hit high in the music industry. An examples of mainstream artists consists of artists such as... • Kings of Leon•Lady Gaga•Marilyn Manson•Pink Floyd•Led Zeppelin•Pink•Justin Beiber•Michael Buble•Fall out boy•Ke$ha•Britney Spears•Paramore•My chemical romance

The audience I will targeting are younger adults to older adults ranging from ages 13 – mid 20’s/30’s. I am to represent females and the way that they are powerful through the range of images which I will portray them in that sense but till sassy and sexual. In this way the magazine aims at men also.
